This Is Africa Presents: Africa In China, Episode One

Here’s something new: the website This is Africa is presenting a monthly “short-doc series” called Africa in China. The first episode was posted on Thursday, featuring Sierra Leonean Mariatu Kargbo, a 2009 Miss World competitor who was supposedly the first foreigner to perform face-changing in China (bian lian), and Gabonese actor Luc Bendza, sometimes called the “African Bruce Lee.” You can soon catch him in the Jackie Chan film Chinese Zodiac.
