The Student Film category features short dramas and documentaries produced by students in FilmAid's year-long, Media Entrepreneurship Training courses in Kakuma and Dadaab Refugee Camps. The short films were produced by diverse teams of young refugees from South Sudan, Somalia, Ethiopia, Congo, Sudan, Uganda and northwest Kenya. Many of the young filmmakers have spent most of their lives in the refugee camps. The Festival is thrilled to be able to provide these talented youth with a platform to have their voices heard.
Education was his ticket out of uncertainty, but displacement and disappointment are hard burdens to shake. But when the coronavirus closes off his path to completing school, Adbullahi Mohamed Hussein decides it’s time to get creative, and get some cash. That’s when he started making dresses and making moves to educate himself online, on his own.
