About the Film

South Africa’s transition from the institutionalized racism of apartheid to democracy in 1994 was hailed internationally as a political miracle. Yet nearly three decades later, the World Bank describes the so-called rainbow nation as having one of the “highest inequality rates in the world, perpetuated by a legacy of exclusion”. Reflecting on this period defined by liberation, disjointedness, and continued resistance are a wide spectrum of its citizens including everyday workers, politicians, pop culture figures, artists and academics.
