In My Father and Qaddafi, director Jihan K pieces together a father she barely remembers. A human rights lawyers, Mansur Rashid Kikhia was Libya’s foreign minister and its ambassador to the United Nations. After serving in Muammar Qaddafi’s brutal regime, Kikhia defected from the government and became a peaceful opposition leader. To many, he could even replace Qaddafi; in 1993, however, he disappeared from his hotel in Egypt. Jihan’s mother searched for him for 19 years, until his body was found in a freezer near Qaddafi’s palace. Through encounters with her family, her father’s colleagues, and historical archives, Jihan’s search for the truth evolves into a deeper curiosity, drawing her closer to both her father and her Libyan identity.
