Plot summary
Crime in Johannesburg, South Africa, has residents under siege. The government cannot provide adequate security through normal means such as policing or dealing with hijacked buildings, so heavily armed private security contractors fill the vacuum. A documentary maker travels to Johannesburg with the contractors, and he also meets local people in Black townships, where some residents practice vigilantism against suspected criminals.
