In South Africa, Lwandi visits his Xhosa brothers who - just like him - have to undergo a two month ritual to become adults. Covered in white clay to fight off evil spirits, they among other things undergo a circumcision.
vpro Metropolis was a video project by Dutch broadcast organisation vpro, that ran from 2008 to 2015. Metropolis is made by a global collective of young filmmakers and TV producers, reporting on remarkable stories from their own country/city. We made a trip around the globe on one single issue: from local beauty ideals to Elvis impersonators, to what's it like being gay, or an outcast or a dog in different cultures.
