That boy is dangerous
Baba - by Adil·Brent·7:03
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 talks about imagining, daring, to build a life in London, explore and take initiative to make things happen. London survival becomes comes with physical exhaustion. Quote: “I worked now like seven days a week, three jobs… Sometimes… I had to sleep in the bus.”
