Zimbabwe has gone through over a decade of political and economic turmoil. Beginning in the late 1990's, hyperinflation, poverty and political violence became the hallmarks of the beleaguered Southern African country. This divided and highly political environment gave birth to a new, and quickly growing movement of young spoken word artists, rappers and cultural activists who use their words as their weapons in the struggle for social justice in Zimbabwe. The documentary short looks into the dynamic cultural activist network, Magamba, and how it is is pioneering new ways of opening up democratic space and building a new generation of socially engaged urban artists. It features interviews, footage, songs and live performances that demonstrate the creativity and originality of Magamba's projects and their lasting impact in Zimbabwe. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- EXECUTIVE PRODUCER: Magamba Cultural Activist Network FILM PRODUCER: Nomadic Wax FIELD PRODUCER: Lena Jackson & Magee McIlvaine DIRECTOR: Magee McIlvaine DIRECTOR OF PHOTOGRAPHY: Lena Jackson & Magee McIlvaine ART DIRECTOR: Dj Nio ANIMATION: Simona Marziani & Magee McIlvaine EDITOR: Magee McIlvaine GRAPHIC DESIGN: Dj Nio ORIGINAL MUSIC: 'City City' by Comrade Fatso & Chabvondoka, 'Set the Drums Free' by Subatomic Sound System, 'The Revolution' by Outspoken & The Essence FEATURING: Comrade Fatso, Outspoken, UpMost, Words Myth, Blaq Pearl, Godobori, Synik, Aura Kawanzaruwa, Flow Chyld, Iris SPECIAL THANKS: Briggs Bomba, Zimbabwe Alliance, Trust Africa WWW.NOMADICWAX.COM WWW.MAGAMBANETWORK.COM

The Shoko International Spoken Word & Hip Hop Festival is a celebration of poetry, hip hop and urban culture that strives for positive social change and democracy. Running in Harare, Zimbabwe, from the 21st - 24th September, the inaugural Shoko included live concerts, an artists’ debate, an international poetry slam, film screenings, live recordings, live graffiti and a cultural activist conference. The festival succeeded to bring in acts from 8 different countries including headline acts such as Akala (UK), Tumi & the Volume (SA), Hired Gun (USA) and Andreattah Chuma (Botswana). 1,200 people visited Shoko over its four day duration. Meanwhile there were over 50 performances and 15 workshops/seminars took place. In the prevailing climate of fear in Zimbabwe the Shoko Festival proved to be unique in its use of urban culture for social change and democratization. Through the debates, workshops, conferences and concerts Shoko created a free space for open democratic debate while also encouraging a new generation of spoken word and hip hop artists. The documentary showcases the best of the festival including the concerts, workshops, talks, poetry slams, graffiti, break dancing and the like. The film also has interviews with the organizers and artists involved revealing why such an event is key in contributing to social and political change.
