Thirteen Cents

“Thirteen Cents” is an extraordinary and unsparing account of the coming of age of a young street child named Azure trying to make ends meet in this other side of Cape Town. Cape Town, between the postcard mountain and sea, has its own shadow-side lurking in its lap: a place of dislocation and uncertainty, dependence and desperation, destruction and survival, gangsters, pimps, paedophiles, hunger, hope and moments of happiness. This Author explores among other things as well as what it means to be young in South Africa.
