Synopsis
With world-class ocean views overlooking the Hout Bay Harbour, lies a community that identifies as predominantly Rastafari/Khoisan.
Hangberg is an informal settlement that has endured a long history of police brutality and forceful housing evictions imposed by the South African Police Service and the City of Cape Town.
This film highlights the uncertainties faced by the community as they fight for their rights to the land as the indigenous people of Cape Town.
