Fearless, feisty and resolute, the Rough Aunties are a remarkable group of women unwavering in their stand to protect and care for the abused, neglected and forgotten children of Durban, South Africa. This documentary follows the outspoken, multiracial cadre
as they wage a daily battle against systemic apathy, corruption and greed to help the most vulnerable and disenfranchised of their com- munities. The portraits that emerge onscreen are filled with wisdom, friendship and a deeply stirring conviction, despite the harsh realities faced by the women. Neither politics, nor social or racial divisions stand a chance against the united force of the women.
