The Situation

The recent reports of missing children is a symptom of our changing society. The issue of rape is deemed to be less extreme but the incidences are increasing in geometric progression. It is estimated that 90% of the cases are not reported. This film looks at the issue of rape and is the impetus to create a discussion on the value of women as they see themselves and how our community sees women in our modern society.

The new millennium has catapulted our country into a situation of a progressed nation. The effect of inflation has created numerous problems in many lives. The industrious people will seek solutions through their hard work. Unfortunately their willingness for industry makes them vulnerable to exploitation for their labour and sexuality.
