Short Synopsis:	captured from the directive lens of a proudly born and raised South African - capturing the people and cultural artefacts of who could be considered a representative of South Africans residing in a nation filled with socio-political and socio-economic shortcomings. In consideration of the high unemployment rate, crime statistics, single parent households and other social ideologies that contribute to the plight of South Africans, there is a growing requirement for reflecting the need for and the possibility of a better future in the nation. The film not only destigmatise the preconceived notions of the depicted Black South African population - the children, the youth, the parents and grandparents, the hustlers and the taxi drivers - they humanise and reflect the resilience and creativity of the people.
