The title comes from the Swahili term "maafa," which means tragedy or disaster and is used to describe the centuries of global oppression of African people during slavery, apartheid and colonial rule, while the number "21" refers to an alleged maafa in the 21st century (though beginning in the 19th), which the film says is the disproportionately high rate of abortion among African Americans. The film states that abortion has reduced the black population in the United States by 25 percent. It discusses some of Planned Parenthood's origins (formerly the American Birth Control League), attributing to it a "150-year-old goal of exterminating the black population." It attacks Margaret Sanger, along with other birth control advocates, as a racist eugenicist. The film features conservative African Americans who are associated with the Tea Party movement, including politician Stephen Broden, and Martin Luther King, Jr.'s niece Alveda King, who claims that Sanger targeted black people.

In the 1950s South Africans realized that their freedom struggle had to be built in four arenas of action: mass action, underground organization, armed struggle, and international mobilization. Have You Heard From Johannesburg takes viewers inside that last arena, the movement to mobilize worldwide citizen action to isolate the apartheid regime. Inspired by the courage and suffering of South Africa’s people as they fought back against the violence and oppression of racism, foreign solidarity groups, in cooperation with exiled South Africans, took up the anti-apartheid cause. Working against heavy odds, in a climate of apathy or even support for the governments of Hendrik Verwoerd, John Vorster and P.W. Botha, campaigners challenged their governments and powerful corporations in the West to face up to the immorality of their collaboration with apartheid.

Selon l'ONU, plus de 200 000 Cambodgiens ont été vendus comme esclaves dans plusieurs pays d'Asie du Sud-Est, tels que la Thaïlande ou la Malaisie. Aya est l'une d'entre eux. Horrifiant, son parcours constitue le fil rouge du documentaire. Jeune paysanne, elle a été réduite en esclavage à 16 ans après avoir été vendue à une agence malaisienne pour être femme de ménage. Pendant deux ans, elle a connu l'enfer. Battue, exploitée, privée de passeport par son patron, la jeune fille s'est enfuie mais, peu après, elle a été violée et séquestrée durant de longues semaines avant d'être libérée puis emprisonnée car sans papiers. Aya est parvenue à s'extirper de ce cauchemar et à rentrer chez elle, avec un jeune enfant né de son viol, ce qui lui vaut d'être méprisée par sa mère et les gens de son village.
