Synopsis
In Cameroon, the movement towards full democracy is frustratingly slow. The filmmakers visits a village where a young man is nearly beaten to death for a small theft, a victim of vigilante justice dispensed where there is no trust in the police or government. But many are fighting for a more just society, including journalists campaigning for press freedom, women's rights advocates trying to outlaw legal domestic violence, and advocates of prison reform.
