Watching: ReelAfrican

First there was Youtube, then Hulu - now I have a new internet destination to watch content, and it's all African.  That's super great because up until now it hasn't been easy getting good quality content.

As a first stop, I'll suggest Shuga:

Shuga is a hard hitting 3-part drama series that follows the lives and loves of a group of cool young students whose bright lives and fabulous futures are balanced on a knife edge due to their love of risk and danger. It’s a story of love, sex, Friday nights and the indelible marks we leave on one another. Shuga is based in Nairobi, Kenya; in the heart of East Africa. Shuga explores the issues of sexual relationships among urban youth against a background of continuing HIV/AIDS infections.

Slowly but surely, the African Film and TV industry is making strides.
