Africa Direct

Africa Direct is a unique series featuring diverse stories from, with, and for Africans. The stories are a mixture of character-led, first-person, and short documentaries from across Africa. Al Jazeera were very mindful that Africa as a continent is often portrayed from a cliche and narrow perspective, so together we developed a concept that veered away from stereotypical representations and leaned into the stories themselves.
