ANC commander Wilton Mkwayi was convicted of treason during the Rivonia Trial in 1966. For 20 years, he applied annually to the prison for permission to marry Irene Khumalo, but was denied each year. Told through letters, interviews and reconstructions, THE MOON IN MY POCKET is the often-unheard personal side of political history.

« Such an honestly touching tale of a man and a woman doomed to separation… (told) gently and with such affection that there’s no room for clichés. » -Janet Smith, The Star Tonight (South Africa)
