Jozi's veins

An audio visual piece i entered into the "My town 2010" short documentary competition. It was chosen as one of the finalists. The competition's brief was open. You could show your town any way you wanted to. The only restriction was that it had to be 3 min long. I chose Johannesburg's streets as my subject and focus of exploration. The audio track is done by a friend of mine - Johan Botha. The song is, amongst other things, about optimism in spite of challenging circumstances. Something many a joburger can relate to.
