⁣Interview about, and Screening of Hyena Documentary - QTV Gambia

Hyena charts the epic levels of corruption undertaken by the Yahya Jammeh regime in The Gambia, which is estimated to have stolen almost US$1 billion of public funds from the smallest country in mainland Africa.

This short documentary was planned, filmed and directed by a group of 11 Gambian citizens - drawn from communities across the country - during a Participatory Video project in July 2019. It was facilitated and edited by Gareth Benest (equals.org.uk) on behalf of the Global Anti-Corruption Consortium at Transparency International, in partnership with Gambia Participates .

Hyena was premiered in Banjul and Berlin in September 2019 and is due for nationwide broadcast in the coming months. It will also be submitted to the ongoing Truth, Reconciliation and Reparations Commission in The Gambia, which is currently investigating the human rights abuses of the Jammeh regime.

Follow Gambia Participates on Twitter (@GambiaParticip8) and Facebook (@GambiaParticipates) for more information on this initiative and the impacts of grand corruption on the nation.

This Participatory Video, produced by the people of Kafuta, in the West Coast Region of The Gambia looks into the contentious issue of land grabbing which has plagued them for the past 14 years or so. It highlights the stories of residents of Kafuta, who as a community had suffered from the occupation of a vast area of their farmlands by The Karafi Group, denying them access to utilize it for their farming activities, which is the main economic activity of the community.

The land in questions was allegedly given away to the Kharafi Group by the then government of the Gambia, without the consent of the people of Kafuta. This has culminated in a contentious relation between the Kharafi farm in the community and the people of Kafuta. Numerous attempts have been made to solicit support from various government institutions to remedy the situation but to no avail, and compensation routes have been sought to no avail as well.

The video essentially captures numerous stories of struggle for sustenance and justice.

Facilitated by Gambia Participates, with support from the ATJLF.
