From one of British cinema's unsung heroes, Kim Longinotto (Hold Me Tight Let Me Go, Sisters-in-Law) triumphs again with this powerful story of the feisty, resolute 'Rough Aunties', the remarkable women who care for the abused and neglected children of Durban. Getting up close and personal she shows how these incredible women wage a daily battle against apathy and corruption, supporting the victims and each other through terrible traumas. This is an intense, inspiring portrait of fearless African women promoting positive social change.
