Booking Overview

A student-produced journalism and current-affairs show focused on South African human rights, constitutional freedoms, identity, safety, protest and cultural issues, with occasional interviews featuring activists, students, community members and public figures. Credible pitches include South African human-rights advocates, constitutional or social-policy researchers, activists, community organizers and cultural experts; booking should be relatively easy because the show features accessible subject-matter guests rather than highly prominent celebrities.
