Finding Penrose - Based On An Extraordinary True Story Of Courage

Lost in a world without identity, will Penrose reclaim his past before the shadows seal his fate?

In 1922, a young Sesotho boy, on the brink of manhood, is ripped from his home, after witnessing his father's brutal murder, and escapes the clutches of slavery with amnesia and only his name. Under the oppressive South African apartheid, every step is a risk for a young man without an identity.

Haunted by the scars of trauma, Penrose finds sanctuary with a white family in apartheid South Africa, but without an identity, every step is fraught with danger. Torn between loyalty and his own burning desire for freedom, Penrose embarks on a dangerous quest to reclaim his past while risking everything to protect his newfound family. 

As he navigates the treacherous landscape of racial tension and hidden secrets, Penrose uncovers a painful truth that forces him to confront his destiny. Risking his life to shield a friend from a mob's violence unlocks a flood of buried memories, forcing him to redefine what it means to be courageous.

Penrose's life-long fight for identity leaves an indelible mark, his courage and resilience resonating across generations, a testament to the enduring spirit that thrives even in the darkest shadows.
