Generation Africa is the fourth collection of documentary films produced by STEPS, a Cape Town-based non-profit media company that works in the documentary space in Africa, and connects filmmakers, broadcasters, funders and community-based organizations through the power of documentary film. This pan-African project looks at the lived experiences of African youth through the lens of migration and consists of 25 documentaries from 16 African countries made by African filmmakers. The films are produced for distribution through AfriDocs and are slated for a global broadcasting event with international public broadcasters led by Arte (France, Strasbourg and ZDF) in June 2022.
