Magadien Wentzel was first arrested in the mid seventies for taking part in a student protest against apartheid. This event was to change the course of his life. He spent most of his adulthood in Western Cape prisons and as a leader of the 28 gang, a powerful man who commanded fear on the "inside". But destiny and history intervened again when prison reform programmes were introduced in South African prisons after Apartheid ended. When he was finally released in 2003, Magadien faced the arduous task of proving his reform to his three children, his community and himself. 2009 48 min HD Director: Rehad Desai and Arya Lalloo Producer: Rehad Desai SABC 2
