Set in Cape Town, a city where socio-economic division exists largely on racial lines, The City That Kills Somalians documents the stressed lives of the city’s impoverished people. What starts out as an observational film, builds into a story that draws the viewer into the uncomfortable racial tensions of the city. Through intimate footage, this hard hitting film sensitively unpeels the tough layers of Cape Town, giving voice to the unspoken silence of a people in need to talk to each other.
