Born a Crime

Trevor Noah’s unlikely story, from apartheid South Africa to The Daily Show, began with a criminal act: his birth. Trevor, the son of a white Swiss man and a black Xhosa woman, was born at a time when such a union was punishable by five years in prison. “Born a Crime” tells the memories of a boy who grew up trying to find himself in a world where he should never have existed, also focusing on his relationship with his fearless, rebellious and extremely religious mother, and the path the two took together to their days of freedom.
