What I love about the film is that what starts out with a look at a band changes into a look at what it takes to be in a band and how the relationships outside of the band are forced to change because of the dynamics of the band. What’s even better is that as the film goes on it morphs again and becomes Kengo's quest to find himself...or maybe that's what it was about all along. Either way, or anyway it's amazing.

  • A Comparative Study of Zimbabwe and South Africa
    FACEBOOK, YOUTH AND POLITICAL ACTION: A COMPARATIVE STUDY OF ZIMBABWE AND SOUTH AFRICA A thesis submitted in fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY of SCHOOL OF JOURNALISM AND MEDIA STUDIES, RHODES UNIVERSITY by Admire Mare September 2015 ABSTRACT This comparative multi-sited study examines how, why and when politically engaged youths in distinctive national and social movement contexts use Facebook to facilitate political activism. As part of the research objectives, this study is concerned with investigating how and why youth activists in Zimbabwe and South Africa use the popular corporate social network site for political purposes. The study explores the discursive interactions and micro- politics of participation which plays out on selected Facebook groups and pages. It also examines the extent to which the selected Facebook pages and groups can be considered as alternative spaces for political activism. It also documents and analyses the various kinds of political discourses (described here as digital hidden transcripts) which are circulated by Zimbabwean and South African youth activists on Facebook fan pages and groups. Methodologically, this study adopts a predominantly qualitative research design although it also draws on quantitative data in terms of levels of interaction on Facebook groups and pages. Consequently, this study engages in data triangulation which allows me to make sense of how and why politically engaged youths from a range of six social movements in Zimbabwe and South Africa use Facebook for political action. In terms of data collection techniques, the study deploys social media ethnography (online participant observation), qualitative content analysis and in-depth interviews.

  • Variety Announces This Year's 10 Actors to Watch
    VARIETY ANNOUNCES THIS YEAR’S 10 ACTORS TO WATCH Marks Five Years of Collaboration With The Hamptons International Film Festival Variety is pleased to announce its annual list of 10 Actors to Watch, an honor the publication has bestowed since 1998.

It reveals how the interpersonal connectivity facilitated by social media can create opportunities for youth voice and collective identity that inspire connective action. Youthful online practices of sharing personal stories, links, photos, memes, videos and other online artifacts of engagement exemplify ‘connective journalism’ through which young people create and share narratives about their personal experiences and concerns that, in turn, allow them to see themselves as members of a larger community or counterpublic of people facing similar experiences and grievances. These connective journalism practices have implications for the ways we think about journalism, political activism and youth citizenship. Keywords Activism, affective publics, connective action, connective journalism, civic engagement, counterpublics, environmental justice, youth and social media Corresponding author: Regina Marchi, Department of Journalism and Media Studies, Rutgers University, 4 Huntington Street, New Brunswick, NJ 08901, USA. Email: [email protected] 2 Journalism 00(0) Introduction As Americans’ confidence in government and trust in the news have hit all-time lows (Gallup Poll, 2016; Pew Research Center, 2015), many worry that democracy in the United States is in danger.

  • Access Points Between Youth Activists and Adult Community Leaders
    “I’m About to Really Bring It!” Access Points Between Youth Activists and Adult Community Leaders Ben Kirshner and Kimberly Geil Working Paper CYE-WP3-2010 Children, Youth and Environments Center, University of Colorado. Feb. 2010. “I'm about to really bring it!” Access points between youth activists and adult community leaders Abstract Working class and low-income minority youth rarely have opportunities to participate in settings where consequential decisions are made, such as school boards, city councils, or newsrooms. Those encounters between youth activists and adult community leaders that do occur represent access points for youth, in which young people advocate for their collective interests. In this article we analyze access points as learning environments for youth. First, employing cultural-historical activity theory, we identify participants’ goals, the tools and artifacts they appropriate in the service of those goals, and the behavioral norms and divisions of labor common to access points. Second, we argue that access points provide opportunities for youth to learn skills for persuasive speech and deliberation, which are critical for robust civic engagement. We conclude by offering recommendations for how to support novice youths’ participation in policymaking domains. 2 “I'm about to really bring it!” Access points between youth activists and adult community leaders In May 2003, a community organizing group comprised of African American and Asian American high school students held a press conference and rally to mobilize support for its “student power” proposal to the local school board. The group, Youth Rising, had written a resolution calling for greater student participation in school governance.1 At the conclusion of the group’s presentation, the school board president stated that he would vote for the resolution and asked that his colleagues do so as well.
