1001 Days

In Alexandra, South Africa, where two thirds of the women are abuse survivors, a group of mothers are on a mission to change the fate of their neighbourhood, right from the beginning.

Documentary

Through a series of intimate, and at times, uncomfortable, conversations, 1001 Days takes the audience on a journey. Through the chaotic and narrow streets of Alexandra, we follow the fearless and charismatic health-workers Zanele, Thandiwe and Khosi. They are three mothers from the heart of the community, who doggedly support hundreds of new mothers, during some of their happiest–and lowest–moments. Their aim: to help new mothers during the first 1001 days of their babies' lives, which are the most critical in any human’s life.

“A thoroughly engrossing documentary extrapolating personal testimony with sometimes excruciating honesty.”
Frame Independent

“This film prioritised collaboration and intimacy and told the stories of these young women in a way that was non-exploitative and honest.”
Tymofii Donets, Sheffield DocFest

“The film reflects with moving moments on motherhood in an intimate look that turns children into the axis on which their mothers' survival is sustained.”
