UCT Day Pop-up Movie Night with Sunshine Cinema

We end UCT Day 2023 with an outdoor movie screening on the Green Mile hosted by Sunshine Cinema, a non-profit solar-powered media network working through Southern Africa to address youth unemployment. Sunshine Cinema equips young entrepreneurs with a Sunbox (mobile solar cinema kit) and the skills necessary to become media facilitators, earn an income, and spark social change.
