Africa Open for Business

Imagine an Africa with entrepreneurial spirit, striving to take care of itself and find African solutions to African problems. That is what you will see in this groundbreaking one-hour documentary by award-winning producer Carol Pineau, and voted BBC World Documentary of the Year in 2006. There is no denying that Africa has wars, famines, natural and man-made disasters, but it also has high rises, stock markets, and Internet cafes. This film challenges the stereotypes and proves Africa cannot be so easily defined. Africa Open for Business gives a tour of the continent, profiling ten companies throughout Africa. These are the real stories on the ground - the successes, struggles, challenges, and solutions. Together these women are building Africa one business at a time. Voted BBC World Documentary of the Year 2006.
