The Cape Flats is one of those areas that most Capetonians give a very wide berth to, which is maybe why we’re so fascinated with being given a look inside.

In 2016 the four-minute video of the struggles an 11-year-old faces was widely shared, and last year we were given a look at what a shift at a Cape Flats hospital looks like.

This latest video is right out of the top draw, so clear 10 minutes out of your schedule and get stuck in.

Here’s Jake Oleson with his effort, THE FLATS. It was shot in the Cape Flats over the course of three days.

How’s that for a sense of perspective?
