Women are often the victims of male aggression in post-conflict situations. This is especially true in post-apartheid South Africa, where legacies of chauvinism and poverty fuel rising brutality, leading the country to be dubbed the "rape capital of the world." Two men, one a former anti-apartheid activist, the other a white Afrikaans man, work together to combat sexual violence against women. Both believe that South Africa cannot be truly free until its women are safe.
