Lobito-Bound: Documentary Premiere and Q&A Session

Join us at Wolfson College, Oxford, for the UK premiere of Lobito-Bound, a documentary chronicling the Lobito Economic Corridor.
About this Event

Lobito-Bound: the high-stakes story of Africa’s next geopolitical frontier.

The ‘Lobito Corridor’ is a daring plan to put Africa at the heart of the global economy and tilt the global geopolitical equilibrium. By investing billions in Africa’s roads and railways, the United States hopes to challenge China’s dominance on the continent, secure the resources needed for a high-tech future, and unlock potentially trillions of dollars of fresh GDP.

But is it too late? Has the West been left behind in Africa? And what do local people feel about the economic battle intensifying around them?

Lobito-Bound is a thrilling feature documentary following explorer Dwayne Fields on an epic adventure through Tanzania, Zambia, the Democratic Republic of Congo, and Angola, from the Indian Ocean to the Atlantic. On the way, Dwayne lives with, listens to, and learns from people whose lives are on the brink of colossal change; all of whom have something to teach Dwayne about Africa, the global economy, the future of the planet, and himself.

Enjoy a screening of the film and a talk from speakers including Sam Williams (Wolfson College, 2023-15, and executive-producer of Lobito-Bound), Tulinabo Mushingi (U.S. Ambassador to Angola, 2022-24), and Marcia Veiga (BBC World Service). There will also be a free drinks reception from 6:30 PM in the Wolfson cafe.
