Director Jihan K turns the camera toward an absence that has shaped her life: the disappearance of her father, Libyan dissident Mansur Rashid Kikhia, abducted under Qaddafi’s regime in 1993. Moving between personal reckoning and political history, the film traces a daughter’s search for truth and a family’s long vigil, revealing how private grief collides with state violence and historical erasure. My Father and Qaddafi weaves between archival footage, home videos, and personal testimony to create a deeply-felt portrait about Libyan identity and the ways in which political violence can reverberate across private life with far-reaching consequences.
