In Freedom Park, a squatter settlement near the platinum mines in SA, a network of former sex workers create Tapologo. They learn to be Home Based Carers for their community, transforming degradation into solidarity and squalor into hope. Catholic Bishop Kevin Dowling participates in Tapologo and raises doubts on the official doctrine of the Catholic Church regarding AIDS and sexuality in the African context.
“A staggering achievement of craft and ambition. Gabriela Gutiérrez Dewar's vision lands with breathtaking precision.”
“Every frame feels alive. Tapologo is the rare release that takes its audience seriously.”
