Summary
We meet 6 populations in transition via the microcosm of the local barber shop. South Africa has known a turbulent history of occupation, discrimination and violence against the black population. With the ANC in power, today in the post-Mandela era the roles are reversed. The white middle class is slowly slipping away into poverty, resulting in violence, excessive drugs and alcohol abuse. Barber Shop South Africa brings the story of this impoverished white middle class who decides to insulate itself from the outside world and settles in strict religious communities on the countryside.
