How will it work?
I am making use of social networking sites to connect with SA Ex-Pats and informing them of this project.
Anybody interested in telling their story can contact me.
I will then visit these SA Ex-Pats and do video interviews with them discussing the following issues.
1) Why did you leave South Africa?
2) How long have you been in your new country and
what are you doing now?
3) Are you happy in your new country and did you
assimilate easy or was it difficult?
4) Do you miss SA and what do you miss about SA?
5) Do you have family in SA?
6) Will you ever go back to South Africa?
7) What are your opinions about SA currently?
I will be filming where you stay, work etc. Anything interesting that you want me to film about your life.
These videos will be available on this
website. This program will also give
South Africans living in South Africa, that have considered emigrating, a
better insight into the reality of moving to another country.
There are so many different opinions regarding emigration - positive
and negative. To get some insight into other emigrants lives will give
people a better understanding.
If you as a South African living in
South Africa have any ideas of places you want me to explore or know SA Expats
that will be interested in this project, please let me know.
I will do all the planning in advance to minimize traveling cost so when I am in a country I would like to connect with as many South Africans as possible, living there. I will be traveling alone with very compact production equipment again to minimize cost. What I'll need from you is your story, and one night's accommodation.
