PanAfrican Film Podcast Episode 21 – Interview with NEWF

360Africa Season 1 Episode 21

In this episode we explore how NEWF is empowering African youth to impact conservation through film. 

Noel and Pragna Kok founded the Nature, Environment and Wildlife Forum as a way of uniting capacity building efforts in the world of African conservation documentaries. The forum has since expanded into labs and outreach programs extending beyond South Africa and across the continent. 

The main objective is to allow young Africans to control the narrative about their continent’s natural habitats by providing them tools to assume roles behind the camera rather than just being the subject of western optics.
