The Volcano - Scenarios from the Sahel

A young couple has been separated for many months as the husband has been working far from home. Now, he's coming home. Each unsure of the other's faithfulness during their long time apart, husband and wife are painfully aware that there's something really important that they must talk about. All the while, the volcano of desire is rumbling away....

Directed by Hamet Fall Diagne, Senegal; based on original ideas by Liboke Limpho, age 22, Lesotho; Egbeleye Azeezat, age 23, Nigeria; and Ntamba Alon Johnas, age 18, Tanzania.

Scenarios from Africa is a community mobilisation, education and media project about HIV/AIDS carried out with and for young people.

It gives children and young adults an exciting opportunity to educate themselves and others about HIV/AIDS by inviting them to participate with internationally acclaimed directors in the production of a collection of short films.

The films are based on ideas thought up by young people in a series of contests. So far, over 105,000 young people from 37 African countries have taken part in these contests. Over a thousand local and international partner organisations are involved in organising the contests and selecting the winning ideas.

Twenty-eight short fiction films are currently available. Some of the films are very touching, others extremely funny. They are distributed on a non-commercial basis across Africa and well beyond, for broadcast on national television stations and on international satellite networks.

Scenarios from Africa is coordinated by Global Dialogues - a non-profit organisation dedicated to promoting excellence in education and communication about HIV/AIDS.
