Hyena charts the epic levels of corruption undertaken by the Yahya Jammeh regime in The Gambia, which is estimated to have stolen almost US$1 billion of public funds from the smallest country in mainland Africa.
This short documentary was planned, filmed and directed by a group of 11 Gambian citizens – drawn from communities across the country – during a Participatory Video project in July 2019. Hyena was premiered in Banjul and Berlin in September 2019 and is due for nationwide broadcast in the coming months.
It will also be submitted to the ongoing Truth, Reconciliation and Reparations Commission in The Gambia, which is currently investigating the human rights abuses of the Jammeh regime.
—— This short documentary was facilitated and edited by Gareth Benest (equals.org.uk) on behalf of the Global Anti-Corruption Consortium at Transparency International, in partnership with Gambia Participates.
