With AFRICA RIDING, AFRIKAMERA presents a youth program with guests. The documentary series, from which a selection of five episodes will be shown, accompanies different communities of riders— skateboarders, roller skaters, bikers — in Accra (Ghana), Kigali (Rwanda), Dakar (Senegal) and Kampala (Uganda), who create their playgrounds from the sidewalks, squares and slopes of the continent and thus participate in the creation of a new cultural and social order.
