Shameela Seedat
African Moot
Selection Officielle - Perspectives
FESPACO 2023

South Africa - Documentary - 85min - 2022

Description
African Moot follows teams from Uganda, Kenya, Egypt and South Africa as they prepare for the annual competition happening in Gaborone, Botswana. This year's case is centred on the rights of refugees on the continent and each student has to grapple with burning issues around migration facing their own countries.

Every year over a hundred law students from across Africa gather for the prestigious African Human Rights Moot Competition. This year, the rights of refugees on the continent will be debated in a simulated court hearing at the African Court of Human Rights. The next generation of the legal elite in Africa shows what it is capable of.

Bio
