Tsitsi Dangarembga: We are never completely free; we have moments of freedom'

I don't think we'll ever reach freedom. I think that it's a thing we sometimes get closer to, and sometimes we move further away from. Some people believe that freedom is an individual matter. And they may have a lived context that allows them to believe that they are free. But something always happens that makes it clear that we are never completely free; we have moments of freedom. Freedom is a desire. Achieving it requires us to move towards it.
