Through a series of digital links, two black policemen, Sergeant Hendriek Mohale of the South African Police Service in Soweto and Sergeant David Van of the 23rd Police District in Philadelphia, explore how they are each coping with crime, the pressures of police work, and a legacy of racism on the job and in their lives. As they focus on race relations, they share stories of difficult experiences and delve into issues that affect them - testimonies before South Africa's Truth and Reconciliation Commission, community disputes between blacks & whites in and around Philadelphia, and attitudes toward interracial marriage in their respective communities.
