Kwese Digital Media airs the first #AfricaNoFilter video spots during the World Cup 2018 games.…
With more than 1.2 billion people from 3,000 different ethnic groups, speaking more than 2,000 different languages and located in 54 distinct countries, Africa is a cornucopia of diversity, and a continent of countless unique stories. Yet narratives about Africa are still being shaped by voices outside of the continent. Extreme versions of these narratives cast Africans as hopelessly plagued by poverty, disease, corruption and dependency, or so rich in natural and human resources that we are now completely self-sufficient.
#AfricaNoFilter seeks to present more accurate, nuanced and contextualized stories of Africa today, with an emphasis on the unique voices of young people and women.
