Black South Africans are the most racist people in the world'announces a young Zimbabwean queuing for food in Sharmeen Obaid-Chinoy's moving and horrifying film about the growing influx of illegal immigrants to South Africa.


She and director Robin Barnwell travel from the Zimbabwean border to Johannesburg investigating how a flood of illegal immigrants has led to xenophobic violence. This film contains shocking scenes of the abuse and hostility illegal immigrants face in South Africa, from both blacks and whites.
