A few weeks ago I blogged about Lucille Blankenberg’s “Don’t Shoot”, a film about the South African TV newsreader, Riaan Cruywagen. I should have said more about the rest of the films in the “Why Democracy” series.
I finally had a chance to watch the rest of the shorts online.
I can recommend Kenyan Judy Kibinge’s Coming of Age (a personal essay on that country’s postindependence history up to last December’s election violence)

… and Teboho Atkins’ Kinshasa 2.0, which integrates Second Life into that film’s narrative as well as utilize the technology in recreating scenes.
