Set in South Africa, 2019, Am I Next? follows the true story of Uyinene Mrwetyana, who was a victim to gender-based violence while in her first year of university. Simultaneously, we follow the fictional story of four high school girls who, in their final year of school, decide to start protesting the country's war on women. We watch the girls as they navigate friendship, family, conflict and when a young Brit immigrates, first love.
Am I Next? is a heart-breaking tale of what it means to be a young woman in a country where a threat waits behind every corner.
