BORN A CRIME IS SOON TO BE TURNED INTO A FILM STARING OSCAR-WINNER LUPITA NYONG'O! The Daily Show host Trevor Noah shares his remarkable story of growing up in South Africa, to a Black South African mother and a white European father, at a time when it was illegal for a mixed-race child like him to exist.

This riveting memoir blends drama, comedy, and tragedy to portray the daily trials and tribulations that shaped a boy into a young man.
