Children of God

For the first time, a documentary crew is allowed inside the South African police force. This film is the story of the Cape Town riot unit, the largest in the country. The local black township is in a state of unrest, and the riot unit is busy enforcing a curfew and 'taking action' against residents. Serving officers talk frankly about doing a job that sometimes means killing black people, and express their apprehensions about the dramatic political changes. See panel below left.
