Orphans of Nkandla plot

120 kilometers north of Durban, South Africa, is Nkandla, the heart of Zululand, where running water and electricity are a luxury. Like so many places in Africa, the community is ravaged by an AIDS epidemic. This documentary tells the story of a number of children who are about to become orphans. Until then, they must care for their dying father or mother with the few resources they have at their disposal. "Three quarters of a million children in South Africa are orphans; 5 million people suffer from AIDS," says the voiceover.
