Along our road to the Central African Republic, passing through Tunisia, Southern Algeria, Niger, Benin, Nigeria, and Cameroon, we will create a report using video and photographs which will illuminate the dreams that inspired young Africans during the middle of this century and those that inspire young Africans today.

From colonization to globalization and from political sovereignty to economic dependence, Africa has been chronically unstable during the past few decades. The transformations and the crises within each country have significantly influenced the lives of the African people. For those under the age of 25, their perspectives have changed as much as their ideologies. There are many examples that define the African sphere of influence on its youth such as young Tunisians invested in tourism, Algerians rich due to their land yet poor due to their civil war, and Touaregs of Niger torn from their identity.

In this report, we will use words and images to recreate the reality facing Africa's youth. We will recreate the evolution of the views that young Africans hold of themselves and the world as a result of their origins, era, social class, and access to knowledge. We will recreate this evolution in a way that is true to life by telling personal stories instead of collective stories and by putting the destiny of the individual before that of the group.

In each of the various cities along our route, we will take advantage of the presence and support of volunteers and researchers to challenge our points of view. Their personal experience as well as their work will undoubtedly bring additional insight to our report.

Our project will conclude with the production of a documentary made for television and a book of photos with commentary. Our personal success will be attained through the enrichment of people and the abolishment of borders between civilizations, especially during a time when a simplistic vision of the relations between nations and xenophobia are emerging once again.
