Fear Nothing (Fear Fokol )

Tuva Björk

There are over 550,000 active private security guards in South Africa, much more than the number of police and soldiers combined. Fear Nothing takes a nightly ride into the fears and anxieties of the city’s prosperous inhabitants by following the work of the private security guards hired to protect them. The illusion of security slowly dissolves as we dig into a fragile climate of inequality, paranoia and masculinity in crisis.
