I traveled to South Africa to explore one of the most controversial and complex issues of our time: police brutality.
What I found challenged everything I thought I understood.
From officers on the frontlines to the people living with the consequences, this documentary on police brutality in South Africa takes you inside a world shaped by fear, power, trauma, and survival, where the line between protection and abuse is not always clear.
Through raw, unfiltered conversations, this film explores the realities of policing, violence, and crime in South Africa.
I’m Ninka Mbaye, and this is LAYERS, a documentary series exploring the lives of those navigating the margins of society, and the complexity of what it means to be human.
