Isiaka is a talented young man with a passion for music, film, and computers. After the death of his best friend and mentor, Isiaka loses his source of inspiration. He finds support from Tanzania Young Leaders – Empowering Vijana (TYLEV), a nonprofit that empowers young adults to develop their passions through seminars and workshops. Through the mentorship and encouragement of TYLEV, Isiaka begins to build himself back up and becomes a mentor himself.

This video was produced on location by an Actuality Abroad student crew and filmed primarily with Canon cameras.

Actuality Abroad is on the ground with every student crew to oversee production of these short documentaries, providing the services of executive producer, production manager, location scout, additional editing, and whatever else is needed to complete the project.

Actuality Abroad is more than a film study abroad program. They are a service learning organization that takes students and young professionals abroad to create media on changemakers in developing communities around the world. Their films spread the word about nonprofits, NGOs and social entrepreneurs who are implementing innovative, new ideas to combat chronic social problems.
