A 35 year old man travels to South Africa seeking to make a difference in the lives of destitute mothers and children infected with HIV living at a shelter in Johannesburg. His idea of making a difference quickly turns into his struggle just to understand the culture he has immersed himself in. Spending over 3 years in South Africa, he realizes the film he began to make about mothers and children with HIV has turned into a film about the danger of being a black woman in South Africa and 4 women who work endlessly to try and help them.
