Documentary ideal for essays and reflections on family life, ethics and morality. What emotions, values, ethics or morals do you think drove Hubert, Mel and the other people in their decisions? Write a reflection from the perspective of Hubert, and then one from the perspective of his brother, Mawuli. Would you have forgiven their father, Mel, for his double life and his treatment of women if one of them was your own mother? Would you have tried to forge a relationship with your half-brother, and why?
