Summary:

Every day, after the shops have closed and the vendors have left, the streets of Johannesburg are left in a mess. The city’s inhabitants deposit some 1.4 million tons of rubbish a year and all of it is swept up by anonymous workers who toil throughout the night to make it disappear. This film is a tribute to the street sweepers of Johannesburg. This film is a moving account of extraordinary women of South Africa.

Summary:

In this fascinating portrait of Leonard Johnson, a white homeless drug addict, the history of Johannesburg is turned on its head. Vincent Moloi follows Leonard through the streets of Johannesburg cluttered with hawkers, and no longer lit with the magic of Christmas lights. Jozi’s streets tell a different story from what it was in the past. Leonard has waisted a life of white privilege to hustle on the streets, selling fake gold jewellery and begging from passers-by, making enough for his daily hit of zol (drugs).

Summary:

Why would men who are repressed at home valiantly fight in the war of their oppressors? And what did the triumphant victors give them, upon their return, for their "gallant and distinguished service"?
