Transit is a 90-minute made-for-TV film that explores sex and sexuality, and the behaviours, emotions and circumstances that lead young people to take sexual risks. It is intended to be used as a tool to open dialogue about sex and sexual decisions among young people. The goal of the film is to encourage behaviour change among young people that will motivate them to practice safer sex.
Shot in a contemporary style, four stories are woven into one as Transit shows the inevitable intersections of youth around the world in this era of globalised disease transmission. The stories of Transit depict the circumstances and emotions surrounding four sets of young people who are confronted with difficult decisions about sex and sexuality. The film shows the commonality of the challenges each young person faces and the uniqueness of their responses.
Transit follows four main characters on a journey across four continents that finds them exploring emotion and sexuality in a candid and gripping way. Tatjana dreams of escaping St Petersburg. She thinks she has found a man that can take her away. In Mexico City, Champinon struggles to find himself a girlfriend under the shadow of his confident, good-looking best friend, Blanco. In Los Angeles, Asha discovers that Vip, the man of her dreams, has been cheating on her. In Kenya, Matthew finds inspiration and enlightenment by diving into Nairobi’s burgeoning hip-hop culture.
The heat is on, and the cast of characters react to the building pressure to create Transit.
