Born Free? examines the true meaning of liberation and what it means to be truly free in a democratic South Africa. This film emphasises the disparity between "political freedom" and "economic freedom." Most importantly, Born Free? is asking, "Was Freedom truly achieved, or is it still an ongoing struggle?"
