Description
The video looks at the impact of various digital technologies in present-day African life. Cell phones have flooded the continent bypassing the unreliable and expensive land-based telephone networks. The film illustrates how new technology is affecting the areas of film, music, fashion, political democratization and education. This documentary presents African responding positively by developing their own presence and a new international, digital cultural ecology.
