TRAVEL and ADVENTURE

 

THE CALL OF AFRICA
13 x 60:00
Most television viewers around the world think of "war", "starvation" and "disease" when they think of Africa. This may be the case in many parts of this great continent, but there is another side to Africa, one that differs enormously from the stereotypical view. The Call of Africa shows us contemporary Africa and how many millions of Africans live and prosper and carry on happy and fruitful lives, from their art to love, and from their religions to power. This superb 13-part series shows viewers the fascinating stories that emerge from the contrast between tradition and modernity, between the rural and urban worlds, between the coastal and inland societies. Episodes highlight issues such as power struggles, death, weapon exchange, roles of women and the impact of westerners.
