Sisonke marches against police brutality

A 2013 march at which Sisonke demonstrated against police brutality, in 4 provinces, produced by SWEAT and Sisonke. Sisonke is the only national movement of sex workers in South Africa. This video is rare and important to understanding the grass roots expressions of sex worker activists culture in Africa. Concise and pointed, the interviews, text and songs inspire sex workers around the world. This short work is a great example of targeted and clear political video. (5:46 min.-2013)
