图瓦·比约克的这部短纪录片开篇，便是一位私人安保人员自豪地细数自己车里携带的各种武器。
Tuva Björk’s short documentary opens with a private-security officer offering a litany of the weapons he has with him in his car, recounted with a pride that borders on glee.
他有一根金属棒，最适合击碎眼窝周围的骨头；还有一把因频繁使用而磨损的指节铜套，就挂在钥匙圈上；另有一根细长金属条，可以远距离甩向目标，据说能“令其流血”，效果“如同鞭子一般”。最后他提到了由搭档携带的枪械。
He has a small metal bar, best for breaking the bone around the eye socket; a knuckle-duster, worn down from use, attached to his key ring; a long, wiry strip to flick at someone from a distance which he says “draws blood” and works “like a whip.”The list culminates in a firearm that his partner carries.
在约翰尼斯堡，私人安保业务是一门大生意——南非全国有6300万人口，其中近300万人从事私人安保工作。
Private-security work is big business in Johannesburg—of the sixty-three million people who live in South Africa, almost three million work in private security.
比约克的影片跟拍了数位安保人员，记录他们如何守卫住宅区，甚至负责部分公共空间的巡逻。
Björk’s film follows several of them as they guard residential areas and even patrol some public spaces.
一位全副武装、戴着面罩的安保人员站在布满尖刺与铁丝网的围栏前说道：“居民们可以安心来到山脊上的安全区域，尽情交谈。”
“Residents can just come on top of the ridge in a safe place, and then they can enjoy their conversations,” says one of the officers, armed and wearing a face covering in front of a fence topped with spikes and razor wire.
一天夜里，这些安保人员在山脊上遇到了前来祈祷的当地居民，大家围着篝火唱歌、摇摆身体。两群人的相遇引发了人们的思考：人们究竟如何获得安全感？又究竟是谁才能真正感到安全呢？
One night on the ridge, security guards encounter some locals who have come up the mountain to pray, singing and swaying around a fire; the two groups’ interaction raises the question of how people achieve the feeling of security, and of who gets to feel truly safe.
