              My Father and Qaddafi

              Jihan / Libya & United States / 2025 / 88 min

              A Libyan diplomat disappears under mysterious circumstances after breaking with Gaddafi. Decades later, his daughter seeks the truth about her father's disappearance and a brutal regime.

              Mansur Rashid Kikhia was a human rights lawyer, Libya’s foreign minister, and ambassador to the UN. After serving under Muammar Gaddafi’s regime, he resigned in protest and became a leading figure in the peaceful opposition. In 1993, he disappeared without a trace from his hotel in Cairo after a human rights conference, and no one has seen him since.

              Decades later, his daughter, Jihan, embarks on a personal and political journey to understand her father’s fate. Through meetings with family members, her father’s former colleagues, and historical archives, she pieces together a portrait of a father she barely knew – and of a Libya marked by oppression and fear.

              ‘My Father and Qaddafi’ is a tragic family story entangled in high politics and the Libyan regime. Mansur’s wife searched for her husband for 19 years, which led her, among other places, to the Libyan desert in the middle of the night, where she came face to face with Qaddafi to negotiate her husband’s release. This is the story of a peaceful opposition leader who could have shaped a different future for an entire nation.
