Remember Fredo?
Onthou vi Fredo?
An intimate portrait of Alfredo’s life and legacy, told through the voices of his mother, friends, and Cape Town’s queer community in the wake of his tragic murder in Malmesbury.
On June 29, 2023, Alfredo April, a beloved drag artist, queer icon and respected member of the Malmesbury community, was tragically murdered near his home. Despite this profound loss, his case remains unsolved, stalled by missing evidence and delayed DNA results, leaving justice indefinitely postponed. Onthou Vi Fredo? delves beyond the case, painting an intimate portrait of Alfredo through the memories of his family, friends, and the Malmesbury community. Affectionately known on stage as ‘Anushka De Patre’, Alfredo’s vibrant spirit endures through his legacy, a beacon of unapologetic self-expression, acceptance and love. Blending archival footage with heartfelt reflections and tributary drag performances, the documentary preserves Alfredo’s memory while honouring his role as a pillar of the queer community. Onthou Vi Fredo? is a poignant exploration of a life lived boldly, a call for justice, and a celebration of resilience and pride within the LGBTQIA+ and trans communities. It is a tribute to Alfredo’s light, and an invitation to carry it forward.
