This film examines the emotional and political reasons for the subversive, secret actions of many that maintained and drove the struggle for South Africa. Looking at the difficult and life-threatening choices of two ANC underground operatives, Memories of Rain discusses the past double lives of two people: Jenny Cargill and Kevin Qhobosheane. Jenny and Kevin played two very different, yet vital, roles. She was a white journalist from Durban, he a fifteen-year-old black boy leaving his grandmother to join the armed struggle. Both became commanders in the intelligence service of the ANC. This absorbing documentary charts how two people from dissimilar backgrounds developed. It analyses core influences, including their childhoods, development of ideals, catalysts to action, lives in exile, return to a dual existence, and the constant threat of discovery.
