Detailed Information
Filmmaker Dumisane Phakathi returns to Soweto, his old neighborhood with camera in hand. He engages with friends to discuss relationships, sex and love. It's a contemporary conversation that reveals the gaps between everyday life and the AIDS education campaigns that talk past the people they seek to reach. The film is startlingly intimate and revelatory of the sexual climate on the ground.
