Scope and content

In January 2008 the filmaker visited his mother in SA and he found the whiterural community she lives in very pessimistic about the future andin particular being ruled by an African government. Then the firstnational power cuts started – serving as the perfect metaphor forthem being plunged into African darkness. He set out to make a film about their fears and how they dealt with them. The crocodile served as a good metaphor – a reptile that stopped evolving but still survives. Along my journey, I discovered many different types of crocodiles and was amazed to find people who had embraced their fears and overcome them – finally offering some hope for future harmony in this troubled country.
