Focus


Description

Focus is a short film drawn from Paradigm Initiative’s 2020 annual digital rights and inclusion report dubbed Londa. The report depicts the state of digital rights and inclusion in twenty African countries.

Focus is an exploratory way used by PIN to best impact the society through storytelling while spotlighting key issues plaguing the digital rights and inclusion ecosystems.

The short film, Focus, challenges viewers to be aware of the challenges happening in Africa and not to sail through the real lived experiences that come with digital rights violations in ignorance. The film presents a call to action, a call to focus.
