""South African filmmaker Khalo Matabane takes a journey across the new South Africa in a minibus taxi, a popular medium of transport for ordinary people. He travels from his village in the north where he was born, to the south and the camera never leaves the vehicle. He meets characters who have a range of provocative stories and at times the camera captures obscure images. There are encounters with a rightwing farmer, a black classical musician who plays Bach, a young girl with a tattoo of Africa on her shoulder. There is talk of history and memory, interracial love, racism, and theories on everything, while others just choose to dance the dance of the new country"--Container."
"Filmmaker Khalo Matabane travels through the nine provinces of South Africa in a minibus taxi. His passengers talk about their feelings and impressions of South Africa since the end of apartheid in 1994, covering topics such as land, race, language, globalization, democracy, identity, and violence."
