The Lost Girls of South Africa, produced by multi-BAFTA winning True Vision for Channel 4, is the 1 hour documentary special which follows the story of young South African girls and their struggle for a better future.
As the world looks to South Africa for the World Cup, this timely and emotive documentary explores world-record levels of child rape and sex abuse.
In a country where a child is raped every three minutes, and where AIDS continues to spread with epidemic ferocity, The Lost Girls of South Africa follows four girls as they struggle to come to terms with the crimes committed against them and fight the social stigma that comes with the abuse.
The documentary received widespread media acknowledgment in the UK, including The Guardian which reported, "So serious were the tales of frightened, abused girls, their stories often almost whispered, that the programme was extended and given a 9pm Sunday slot by the head of Channel 4, Julian Bellamy."
The Lost Girls of South Africa is from the celebrated production company True Vision, which recently produced The Slumdog Children of Mumbai.
The Slumdog Children of Mumbai is the special documentary which tells the moving stories of Deepa, Salaam and twins Hussan & Hussein. Four children caught up in the maelstrom of life on the streets and in the slums of Mumbai.
Filmed over three months, throughout the monsoon, by award-winning film-maker Nick Read, the documentary witnesses the bravery, resourcefulness and extraordinary resilience of these children, as they grow up long before they should.
