Shot in multiple formats, from 16mm to digital, Breakfast in Kisumu is an intimately rendered tribute to renowned Kenyan academic and political activist Rok Ajulu, husband of Lindiwe Sisulu. Filmed across six countries in Europe and Africa, the film’s account of Rok’s life – from his struggles as an exiled freedom fighter in the post-colonial era to his ongoing conflict with the apartheid government and his support for the African National Congress – takes the form of a conversation with his daughter as they travel many different roads. Along the way, we learn of his various deportations and prison sentences, as well as a richly-lived life devoted to both academia and activism – and finally, the collapse of the apartheid regime and Rok’s homecoming to his adopted country.
