WHEN I SAY AFRICA

Sparked by a filmmaker’s reckoning with her own role in perpetuating Western stereotypes about Africa, WHEN I SAY AFRICA unpacks the myths of the white savior complex. African storytellers, changemakers and thinkers talk back to  Western volunteers and journalists, exposing the power dynamics behind these portrayals. WHEN I SAY AFRICA challenges viewers to confront the true cost of these misrepresentations.

WHEN I SAY AFRICA (formerly titled FRAMED) is currently in post-production.

"The film looks at the dynamic and asks a simple question: Who exactly are we trying to save Africa from?" - Colorlines
