The film takes us through southern Africa, from Durban to Johannesburg, by way of Swaziland where one child out of ten is an orphan. Out of South Africa’s 47 million inhabitants, HIV infects six million. In this country, more than one million children have already lost their parents to Aids. Their family helps many of these orphans; others leave school, which is valuable, and end up in the street. In South Africa, the devastation of Aids has upset the structures of society. The grandmothers, here called “gogo grannies,” are the last mainstay of the orphans of Aids. An historical irony: fifteen years after the end of apartheid, it is white children, once raises by black nannies, who in turn are raising the children of their servants, victims of Aids.
