Living Through the Shadow of Violence: Set against the backdrop of rural Eastern Cape, this documentary offers an unflinching portrait of a community grappling with the emotional and practical toll of escalating violence.
Through the voices of women like Zimkitha, her mother, and local resident Noluvo, the film lays bare how fear and trauma infiltrate daily life, disrupting education, isolating individuals, and forcing workers to abandon their routines. As community-led patrols attempt to fill the vacuum left by distant and delayed police response, the film examines the fragility of safety in remote areas and the quiet resilience of those who remain.
