Quotes “The four things that come to mind when people think of Africa are population, problems, poverty, and promise unfulfilled – headline media reports on the continent. But that’s not the whole story,” “Between the 1980s and now the image of famine and wars has been ingrained in people’s minds. That’s a narrative that’s going to be hard to shift,” McKenzie, Sheenah (25 July 2012). "Filmmaker aims to explode Africa 'bombs and bullets' myth". CNN. Retrieved 10 April 2025.
