Connecting lessons from the anti-apartheid struggle to modern day movements for social change
Have You Heard From Johannesburg is an Emmy Award-winning seven-part documentary series that shines light on the global citizens movements that took on South Africa’s apartheid regime. With a vision of inspiring everyday people to tackle modern-day injustices, Active Voice designed an international media and community engagement campaign to coincide with the 20th anniversary of the release of Nelson Mandela. Our effort used the decades-long anti-apartheid struggle and its unprecedented victory to inspire veteran and emerging “global citizens” around the world.
The guide is designed to help viewers use the seven-part series as a springboard for dialogue on a range of themes and issues related to the global anti-apartheid movement: human rights, social justice, race relations, civic engagement, global citizenship, and economic justice. It suggests overarching discussion questions about the entire series, and also allows viewers to delve deeper into the episodes and explore key themes. Download the guide here.
