I was one on the main cameras for this is a feature length documentary film celebrating African football in the run up to World Cup 2010. Following the different paths of aspiring young African players from South Africa, Ivory Coast, Egypt and Cameroon, Soka Afrika explores the power of football to influence Africa for better or worse. I shot in South Africa, Holland and with the South African team at the U21 World Cup in Egypt, including all the matches.
Shot on Canon A1.
