South Africa stands beneath the shadows of overwhelming statistics of rape, abuse, violence and substance abuse, threatening to suffocate the voice of girls in every community of the country. GirlZtalk is a startling and honest account of what it means to be a girl growing up in South Africa today. It follows a journey taking 20 university students from the townships of Johannesburg into the rural heartland of South Africa. Sharing their stories and exploring the issues girls face, we witness the tremendous courage and determination girls behold as they continue to rise in the face of adversity.
