Steps for the Future: Wa 'n Wina
Dumisani Phakathi
2001
52 minutes
Filmmaker Dumisani Phakathi returns to his old neighbourhood.
With a camera on his shoulder, he engages with friends to discuss relationships, sex and love. Strong characters like Phumla and Timothy expose their emotions as they talk intimately about the realities of their street and the choices they have been forced to make. It's a rock and roll journey that reveals the gaps between everyday life and the AIDS campaigns that often talk past the very people they are supposed to address. It is the recognition of the people's willto survive in the age of AIDS.
