Adonis Musati – A Better Life

Adonis Musati was 23 years old when he fled troubled Zimbabwe and traveled to Cape Town. He spent weeks on end queuing for asylum papers, sleeping in a cardboard box outside the Home Affairs office. In November 2005 he was found dead. The Autopsy confirmed that this young man had died of starvation. This film follows a group of Cape Town volunteers who, on hearing of this untimely death, decided to make it their mission not to let any more refugees die on their city streets. They formed the Adonis Musati Project which reaches out to all struggling refugees.
