Forget the "Africa Rising" narrative. That's a story written by Western interests to serve a Western agenda. The real story is an uprising—a deliberate and powerful movement to reclaim Africa's digital future from the grasp of neocolonial forces.
This is not a video about cool apps and gadgets. This is a critical analysis of the fight for technological sovereignty. We expose how "vulture capital" from the West mimics the extractive logic of old empires and how the "digital brain drain" funnels African talent into building wealth for Silicon Valley. We investigate how the very infrastructure of the internet—from undersea cables to data centers—has become the new battleground in a scramble for Africa's most valuable resource: its data.
But this is not a story of victimhood. It's a story of resistance.
Join us as we go beyond the headlines to showcase the innovators, thinkers, and activists who are building a new system. From fintech platforms creating independent, pan-African payment rails to biobanks ensuring African genomic data serves Africans, we reveal how a new generation is not just "disrupting" industries—they are decolonizing them.
This is the fight to own our data, control our platforms, and build a future on our own terms. The future is not being given to Africa; it is being built by it.
