The film

The documentary explores life on the Cape Flats and the reality of youth gangs in South Africa. The two authors, who had been involved in a series of educational workshops in juvenile prisons and street children since 1996, met two young gangsters, Richie Gee and Schoolboy, who had grown up in townships adjacent to Cape Town. The prison meeting in 1997 led to them following the stories of the two young men trying Now these young men are trying to adjust to the stigmatisation that exists within the communities to which they have returned.
