Filmed this outside of Cape Town, South Africa. It was truly one of the most impoverised places I have ever come across on my travels.
I remember the tour guide telling us that a lot of the people in this place had HIV/AIDS and that it was not uncommon for anyone at any given time to kill someone for next to nothing!
The value of LIFE held no meaning...

this is another reason to say, FUCK CORPORATE GREED AND THE MONETARY POLICY!!!!!!!!
dollar bills are only pieces of paper, they have no actual value when they represent the corrupt way it's used and abused by the rich and unforgiving population of this abundant planet. resources for sustaining a lifestyle without hate and scarcity do not require a monetary system, the resources exist no matter what ownership is given them by greedy corporations and governments.

In addition, I didn't like the fact that the indigenous people of this country are made to live in such appalling and dehumanizing conditions. It isn't right at all....

Life really doesn't hold value there.
I remember on the news reports of about 13 foreign people being killed between Christmas and New Years 97/98...but the saddest story for me was that of a German man staying at a prestigious hotel in Johannesburg
with his family. He was stabbed to death for something like US$10 to US$20 whilst swimming in the hotel pool with his sons (or son)...the irony of it was that he quite willingly gave the money...so he and/or his son(s) wouldn't be hurt.
