With a camera strapped to his shoulder, Phakathi decides to find out how the people in his old neighbourhood are coping with their lives in a time of AIDS. Those he interviews—friends, former neighbours and acquaintances – talk candidly about sex, relationships and their attitudes towards the disease. Parenting and responses to safe sex are openly contested, and date rape frankly admitted. Phakathi avoids guiding responses or framing answers in terms of statistics or sociological analysis. The result is a revealing personal journey that paints an intimate, complex portrait of ordinary people getting on with their daily lives, of a community adjusting to, or denying, the realities of AIDS.
