Afro@digital / 2002
No rating yet
Balufu Bakupa-Kanyinda
Synopsis: In Afro@digital, a marabout explains that he no longer replies by letter to questions put to him by Africans living abroad. Rather he uses his mobile phone, which he carries with him at all times. Some of these African spiritual guides even use e-mail to transmit their advice, their replies reaching their destination in a few seconds instead of the several weeks it can take for a letter to cover the distance.
Another eloquent illustration of the digital revolution in Africa is the rise of Internet cafés. One such café is featured in the documentary. Referred to as "Cyber teahouses" in Mauritania, these Internet access centers have really caught on in a big way in many African countries. In Bamako, the capital of Mali, the number of Internet cafés increased from one to 100 within the space of a year.

The difficulties of finding a job and scraping together money, the temptations of crime and its harsh consequences, the lack of culture and knowledge of the basics of life, are all intertwined in parallel lives.
