Afrika Eye and Bristol Festival of Ideas join forces to host an inspiring talk and Q & A with Lord Paul Boateng. Entitled AFRICA RISING... CHALLENGES AND OPPORTUNITIES FACING NORTH AND SUBSAHARAN AFRICA, Boateng will expand on the festival’s core themes of democracy, dictatorship and revolution in Africa. Saturday evening promises excitement, with the talk taking place between screenings of
AN AFRICAN ELECTION, a documentary about Ghana’s 2008 election, and
Simon Bright’s ROBERT MUGABE... WHAT HAPPENED? - the fascinating story of a man who built a country and then destroyed it. 


Paul Boateng says of Afrika Eye:
“This exciting festival provides a welcome opportunity to focus on the challenges and opportunities that Africa presents at this critical time.” 

Tickets: £4.60/£3.60.
