Eye on the Child
This shocking film uncovers the ever-growing crime rate of child rape in South Africa. Innocent children as young a 9 months or younger are being raped not only by strangers but mainly by friends and family of the victims parents. There motives often stem from revenge or even the promise of curing aids. What is more shocking is that the perpetrators are being released after serving short or no sentence at all with no rehabilitation or regular police checks. This film shows the outcry for justice in the countless affected communities and how the government is trying to combat this horrendous crime.
