Our synopsis in 2001:

The abo-mshoza were expensively dressed, insolent, rebellious hell-raising women of the townships. Five women, now in their early forties, reminisce about their wild youth, and we gain a fascinating insight into the Isipantsula subculture of the late 70s and early 80s. Images of Joburg and Soweto in the 70s, are intercut with 90s urban life and a vibrant 70s disco music track.

Our synopsis in 2000:

Black women, known as abo-mshoza, were part of a township, mainly working-class, subculture called Isipantsula. Isispantsula had its heyday in the late 70s and early 80s. It was modelled around very expensive clothes, a particular dance style, and members prided themselves in being insolent and disregarding authority. The film focuses on a group of five women, now in their early forties, and their anecdotal reminiscences of their wild youth, set against a backdrop of images of Jo’burg and Soweto in the 70s, intercut with 90s urban life and a vibrant 70s disco music track.
