Daddy Issues

Daddy Issues walks through the lives of nine unrelated young women from South Africa. It explores their relationships, or lack thereof, with their fathers as a catalyst for problems that affect their interactions in society.

“He never asks how I’m doing apart from school. I guess it’s important to keep track of how the investment is doing close to maturity.”

“This was the moment she realised that her dad was presently absent.”

"She refused to accept anything less. He was less.”

“Am I that easy to leave behind?”

“The pain you have caused me, and continue to cause me, is now weighing too heavy on me.”

“You should have just fought for me. The one time I needed you to fight for me, you couldn’t.”
