African Moot

It is a high-stakes mock legal battle played out in the constitutional court, where the prize is glory in a continent-wide contest called the African Moot. The story follows the emotional journey of Africa’s future human rights law students as they gather to debate the human rights issues currently facing Africa. We follow the fierce competitors as they analyse and present their arguments using real-life constitutional cases brought before African courts. It illustrates the experiences of participants by offering insights into their individual motivations, and by sharing their own personal stories relating to the competition themes of displacement and sexuality.
