When I Say Africa (2024)
WHEN I SAY AFRICA unpacks the problematic white savior narratives that are at the root of Western entanglements with Africa. As white filmmakers we intend the film to be a space where self awareness and a critical view of media, pop culture and humanitarianism can lead Western audiences to reflect on their complicity in systems of global privilege. The film sets out to disrupt problematic narratives and asks audiences to think about different ways of representing and engaging with the continent.
