Inspired by Athol Fugard's play Sizwe Bansi is Dead (1972), West set out to depict the daily lives of South Africans between 1997–1999, portraying the shifting visibility of the Black community during this period of political and cultural change. As a US citizen of mixed race, he felt drawn to the liberated South Africa after apartheid.
