Baba - by Adil ·Brent·3:38
Adil Hassan is a London-born actor-writer trained at Guildhall. His tragicomic, absurdist work finds epic scale in the domestic. Of Egyptian-Indonesian heritage, he tells stories from within. He is now making his debut documentary on Egyptian fathers in diaspora.
This is an excerpt from a longer series of oral history interviews by Adil Hassan with his dad and uncle, exploring themes of migration, finding home, and fatherhood. Here he speaks about begging to be added to the printed government list for the UK training trip - and emerging number one at the end. He Quote: “Please, try even put my name just by pencil.”
