"This is how we live here... They wait in the bushes and watch us at night but there's nowhere else for us to go..."

She and her children live in daily fear. "How do you teach a child in South Africa not to be afraid?" asks Johannes, the town's retired pastor,"it has been so emphasized in our history". Fear causes people to become more insular, more insecure and the culture of fear feeds on itself. This is a unique and thought-provoking insight into South Africa today. To understand these people who are being pushed to the limit of their imaginations, is to feel their fears and walk in a forest of unknown things.
