Film: "Rough Aunties" in Über Mut Film Festival, in cooperation with Aktion Mensch

When the children are victims of sexual abuses, often they fall in the silence and the fear. Help these children talking is the objective of the Bobbi Bear Foundation in Durban, South Africa. Their employees work for the victims trying to bring the sexual abuse offenders to the Courts. The zulu patriarchy is an added obstacle as the problems are often hidden, the sex is a tabu. From the honestity and the anger, Rough Aunties describes the fight of the Bobbi Bear Foundation in cooperation with the mothers of the victims to defend the rights of their children.
