Volume 16 of Steps for the Future a 25 cassette series on AIDS in Southern Africa.
Surrounded by vast expanses of desert and sea, the small Namibian harbor of Walvis Bay is the unlikely setting in which filmmaker Cecil Moller explores the lives of sex-workers. Dependent for their business on the brief visits of foreign shipping trawlers to this remote port, he women give revealing insights into the choices they have made and why they have made them. Their conflicts to do with notions of love, sex, sin and redemption become the main themes, while the threat of HIV/AIDS hangs ominously in the background.
