Simon & I plot

Bev Ditsie was 17 years old when she first met Simon Nkoli, founder of the Gay and Lesbian Organization of the Witwatersrand (GLOW). Like them, he belonged to two minorities: black and homosexual. Simon became her mentor and example. "I finally found a home," she says now. In a voice-over, Bev talks about her lonely childhood in Soweto, reminisces through archive footage, and accompanies songs on her guitar.
