Solidarity? Revealing the Everyday Lived Reality of Covid-19 in Kliptown, Soweto

1955 Films presents: This film has been shot and driven by the people living the story. It reflects on the everyday lived realities for the residents of Kliptown's shack communities as they face the threat of the Covid-19 disease. It shows the urgency of today's pandemic set within a neighbourhood that has been neglected by the government for decades. It tells the individual stories of the people living there and of an extraordinary group of residents who are heroically fighting to slow the transmission of the virus in their community.
