Short summary

Gritty youth Drama series set in a South African Township.
Yizo Yizo began as a controversial and popular TV drama about a Johannesburg, all-black high school. As addictive as a soap opera but as topical as a news magazine, the series portrays a young rape victim haunted by nightmares; the perpetrators adjusting to prison life while awaiting their trial; the politics of school budgetary and staffing cuts; an opportunistic teacher-student affair; and a teacher who cannot overcome cultural differences between herself and her students.

Three seasons of this 13-part TV drama series had record-breaking audience ratings in South Africa.

Winner of multiple awards internationally and selected for numerous festivals including special screening at Venice 2004.
