Young in Prison South Africa (YiPSA) is a non-profit organisation that works to support young people in conflict with the law through three main programmatic areas: Rehabilitation of incarcerated youth, Reintegration of ex-offenders and Advocacy.

“Combining the arts with therapy is a powerful way for youth who have been in conflict with law to reconnect with their humanness and build skills for expressing their emotions in a safe, positive and constructive way. In this way, we give them a unique platform for connection, collaboration, expression, creativity and fun – which in turn creates opportunities for their personal transformation.”
– Khethiwe Cele – Director: Young in Prison South Africa

"South Africa's ethnic and cultural diversity are mirrored in a fascinating spectrum of churches and other religious or spiritual movements and institutions. In The Moving Spirit series, I recorded religious rituals and spiritual practices in my old home city of Durban and elsewhere in South Africa."
