FIRST FILMS SELECTED


Afrika Eye's first films selected.

Youth in revolution 
using Facebook and Twitter

Tunisia, January 2011 

How? Why? What was it like?


We’re proud to show Cannes favourite NO MORE FEAR, first feature doc of the Tunisian revolution. Told through the eyes of three activists, brave citizens who all suffer the ‘fear’ of imprisonment or disappearance, but nevertheless use their positions to speak out and force change.  
More information about other films soon.
