Ponte Tower rises 54 storeys above Johannesburg's Berea neighborhood, a cylindrical apartment block built in the mid-1970s with a hollow core open to the sky. This short film traces its arc from luxury address for the city's elite to a byword for urban decay, as white flight and the crime wave of the 1990s emptied its upper floors and left the building associated with drugs, gang activity, and a grim reputation as a jumping point for suicides, feeding its nickname "Suicide Tower." Footage of the building's exterior and interior atrium, along with commentary on Johannesburg's shifting inner city, frames Ponte as a physical record of the city's post-apartheid transformation. The film also covers efforts to reclaim the tower, from failed redevelopment schemes to later renovation and resettlement projects aimed at restoring it as functioning housing. Ponte remains visible from almost anywhere in Johannesburg, and the film treats it less as an eyesore than as a monument to how a city absorbs, and eventually tries to repair, decades of neglect.
