Zina Zaro-Wiwa

British-Nigerian director

Close your eyes and think of Africa. What do you see? This is the request British-Nigerian director Zina Saro-Wiwa made to 20 different London-based Africans and Africaphiles.

She remixed their answers and reflections and the result is a "50-minute crash course in African culture called This Is My Africa" according to the documentary-maker. A film about the Africa that exists in the hearts and minds of 20 individuals that are from Africa or have lived, travelled or worked there, This Is My Africa paints a very different picture from the one we see in the Western media. Zina Saro-Wiwa is a film-maker, broadcaster and founder of AfricaLab, an organisation dedicated to changing the way the world sees Africa.
