Synopsis

Vusi Madlazi returns to his South African village, where he had left as a young man after organizing against apartheid and fleeing for his safety. He is there to bury his father and reunites with his brother Ernest, who informs him that their other brother, Stephen, could not be reached. Vusi travels to Johannesburg to locate Stephen, initially finding only Karin, Stephen's neighbor and girlfriend, who works as a stripper. As he searches, Vusi becomes aware of how the post-apartheid era has changed the social landscape, often to the detriment of black men.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 19

These are the principals we have on file — the full crew ran to the hundreds. Every film this size was made by far more hands than any credits list ever names.

Why a floor?

This is a minimum, not a total. We only count the credits we’ve captured so far, and coverage is uneven — a blockbuster might show a few hundred names while another of the same size shows a couple dozen. The real crews all ran into the thousands. The number here only grows as full credits are enriched — so we frame it as a floor, never a headcount.
