In just three months last year, police reported 263 gang murders on South Africa’s Western Cape — 79 were children who died through gunshot wounds or stabbings.
Cape Town is one of the wealthiest cities in Africa, but also one of the most unequal and divided. The city has become the country’s gang capital with violence centred around townships known as Cape Flats. Here, more than a hundred gangs are fighting for control of the lucrative drugs trade.
This film provides rare access to one of the most volatile communities in the country, Hanover Park, and examines the efforts being made to reduce violence from within.
