In South Africa, there are more private security guards than police officers and soldiers combined. Join a nighttime patrol through Johannesburg’s affluent neighborhoods, where security presence is total—and so is the fear of crime. 550,000 guards are employed by a portion of the population seeking safety, but the illusion unravels as Fear Fokol exposes a fragile climate of inequality, paranoia, and masculinity in crisis.
