Synopsis

This was a real experiment in a complex in Johannesburg. The neighbours responded exactly as shown in the video – no actors were used, nothing was staged.

With no budget for a high-production ad, we used the residents of a typical townhouse-complex to tell our story. We confronted South Africans with their own apathy regarding woman abuse, showing that their passiveness is part of the reason why 1400 women are killed.
