A new documentary will capture South Africa’s social and political realms through the millennial lens. Generation Soweto will debunk myths about what it’s like to live in South Africa. Producer Nisa Ahmad was inspired to create the film after taking a trip to Africa earlier this year. “These young kids, kids that in America are still living with their parents, are running companies. One of our cast members is a blogger and she learned how to code by using YouTube tutorials. It just inspired me that in the face of adversity they are not letting anything get in the way of them and their dreams,” said Ahmad. “I hope this documentary builds a bridge between millennials around the world and show how similar millennials are and how connected they are through the Internet.” She recently launched an Indiegogo campaign to raise funds for the film.
