Lobito-Bound documentary screening

Join us for an exclusive pre-launch screening of Lobito-Bound, Africell's new feature documentary about an epic 4,000km journey across Africa’s new ‘Silk Road’. Taking place after the networking drinks reception on 21 October, this exclusive screening is only open to Africa Summit attendees ahead of its worldwide release on a major global streaming platform.

Lobito-Bound follows explorer Dwayne Fields on an adventure through Tanzania, Zambia, Democratic Republic of Congo and Angola, from the Indian Ocean to the Atlantic. On the way, Dwayne lives with, listens to and learns from people whose lives are on the brink of colossal change; all of whom have something to teach Dwayne about Africa, the global economy, the future of the planet and himself.
