About
We're building narratives of inclusion around permissionless money, through documentary film. Our lens follows Kibera's real residents and merchants, showing self-custody as ownership, trust in tools that serve us, and abundance through participation
Impact
We are giving local builders and merchants a global voice, and offering a guide for communities everywhere seeking to replicate similar circular economies using freedom money.
Progress
First documentary has been published that tells the story of local builders who have built products that enable buying, spending and saving of Bitcoin as well as the grassroots community that is leveraging the technology to participate globally.
Team
We are established voices in Bitcoin and web3 with 7 years of experience. We have documented ZuAfrique 1.0 & 2.0, and thematic areas like climate, culture and society and built regional/global Web3 communities.

The original page also broke each season down by fund drive and showed an Available (unclaimed) balance; that level of detail survives only on the preserved snapshots.
