57
Channel: S3
TX Time: 21h00
Genre: Documentary
57 is the number of South Africans that have been murdered every day in the last few years.
The making of this film is inspired by the tragic murder of Matwetwe lead actor, Sibusiso Khwinana, who was stabbed to death in Pretoria during a theft of his cellphone.
The incident happened outside a cinema where the film Matwetwe was screening.
A group of filmmakers who were connected to the film, Matwetwe, go on a three-year-long journey to try and make sense of our insane murder rate and crime statistics.
The film is an attempt to find some meaning behind these insane numbers.
How is it possible that 57 people can be murdered every day? Our murder statistics compare to those of a war zone.
The film explores a subject close to all South Africans hearts.
Why are we such a violent society? Why is there so much rage in South African men? Why do we kill each other in such large numbers?
Even though the subject matter is hard, the film attempts to shine light on the subject.
The documentary aims to open a conversation, unearth insights, and begin to demystify the madness that is currently consuming and suffocating our nation, while at the same time honour and explore Sibusiso's tragic passing.
It is only when we really understand the complexities of this subject matter that we can begin to find ways to fix them.
We speak to criminologists, psychologists, historians, academics, journalists, comedians and many every day South Africans.
People interviewed include Gareth Newham, Kagiso Lediga, Eusebius McKaiser, Mmatshilo Motsei, Brenda Goldblatt, Joey Rasdien, KG Mokgadi, Jonny Steinberg, Tebatso Mashishi, Fuad Cassim, Peter Delius and many others.
