Reaching Out With Compassion in Kibera (ROCK) helps kids in Kibera access learning material & provides a space where they can learn & interact with each other. It also provides kids with scholarships & connects them to mentorship opportunities. RECA Cinema Club & ROCK held a week-long workshop from 20th August to 24th August about the art of film-making with teenagers taught by different facilitators. They were taught the basics of script-writing, how a producer guides the project, using sound to create emotions & using the camera as a tool in storytelling. Teenagers learnt how to tell stories effectively and the importance of teamwork in film-making. Essential skills needed to train the next generation of Kenyan filmmakers telling African stories. Finally, all the teenagers came together to create a podcast discussing 'Life in Kibera As A Teenager. It was an eye-opening experience as they all came together to share their hopes, fears & aspirations about Kibera. Kibera is a place with a lot of talent & potential to make an impact. The Podcast is coming soon! If you'd like to be a part of the RECA Cinema Club meets ROCK. Kindly contact us at +254708708547 or email us at [email protected].
