Short Film 'Focus' Calls For Digital Rights And Inclusion

Directed by Award-winning Creative Director and Nigerian Poet, Tolu Ajayi, Focus spotlights the fundamental challenges of digital rights in Africa and urges the government and stakeholders to initiate, and enforce laws that support every citizen’s digital rights and internet freedoms in Africa.“This is a story of the Judas’ kiss and the smeared lips.

Based on true events as curated from people’s experiences, the movie documents the series of youth-led civil agitations, protests for absolute online freedom and violation of rights such as; enacting repressive laws, Police brutality, illegal arrest and killings of bloggers and citizens, Internet disruptions, and illegal surveillance.

“What we are doing with FOCUS is simple. We are using storytelling to engage our African communities on complex social issues, in a way that instils a sense of urgency and help everyone make sense of the different complexities that constitute the issues we are tackling.
