Section 16

Section 16 details the work and challenges of four female South African investigative journalists and the challenges they face as they work to break some of the most significant stories. Ferial Haffajee, Marianne Thamm, Pauli van Wyk and Caryn Dolley have all been targets of calculated social media attacks and death threats, some of them deployed by British reputation management firm Bell Pottinger. Gambade’s film lets the four women speak about their challenges, inspirations and motivations even as they continue to hold the powerful to account.
