Our Story<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

We founded Watch Africa in 2013 as Wales\u2019 first African Film Festival. Since then we have
transformed into an established production and consultancy provider. We build sustainable and resilient cultural bridges between UK, Africa and the global Diaspora. We create experiences that are impactful, inclusive and engage with the challenges of our time. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

By building bridges we nurture conversations, learning and joy, we collectively explore our past, shape our present and future.<\/p>\n\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n
