African Spelling Book is a compilation of 20 three-minute films made by a group of street children living in Nairobi. The program is inspired by stories written by the children themselves. Each story reflects their view of life in Kenya and is a unique chance to explore their world and their point of view. Preconceived ideas of Africa are challenged by the children's take on life. The country is portrayed as tragic, comic, beautiful, vital, but above all, dignified.
