SUMMARY ROCK AFRICA

-Rock Africa is a story about six young men who worked as garbage

collectors whereby they get inspired to do something extraordinary to

pay the bill for one of their friends mother who had cancer and needed

to undergo surgery urgently,

-They came up with an idea to form a rock band because of one of their

friends extraordinary passion for rock music, but they didn't have

enough money to buy instuments, since they were determined and under

pressure to save their friends mother they decided to buy local

instuments like traditional drums and guitars forming a band

-They decided to do rock music because they thought that American bands

have let down Africans by not coming to entertain their fans thinking

there are no Rockfans in Black Africa. They saw lacking convincing them

to play rock music giving themselves hope that they sound better and

unique while trying to raise money in a community that hates them

because of the drama they have done to the locals

-It is blended superbly to see how the six boys struggle with their own

challenges as individuals and the challenges the band faces when they

are together, its like six different stories combined to form one major

story of hope and determination

-Rock Africa is a fun filled comedy movie thats educative and very

informative with a wild theme that connects to the world from its

purely African touch blended with the American/european culture that

breaks race barriers

-The Movie is a wild ride full of ups and downs and unexpected turns

leaving audiences with something to smile and hope about in life,

JACK TO ZINO;-

yo Zino i fail to understand why rockbands never come to perform in

 Africa

ZINO ;-

Africans do not listen to rock music therefore, they know they dont

have fans in Africa

BABA ;-

south Africans listen to rock

ZINO ;-

Not the whole of south Africa Baba, a little bit of south Africa

infact white south Africa

DEDE ;-

I have a probem listening to rock music because all i ever hear are the

noisy guitars i cant get what they are saying

JACK;-

Thats because that is what you want to hear Dede, have you ever tried

soft rock

DEDE;-

stole rock from us

soft and the instruments nowardays ofcourse are not the same from the

first ones

By the way why do you keep on insisting about rock music? always trying

to say something nice about rock music i don't know this and that, i

think you were born on the wrong place you should be hanging out with

white folks

KEVIN;-

what am saying is that you have never given yourselves a chance to

listen to rock, its no secret im in love with rock music, i feel like

its the kind of music i can connect to. The things they say makes sense

to me

mother too. Boys what do you think?, can we raise 200 hundred thousand

in three weeks?

bank?

MARTIN;-

Around 30 thosand shillings from start to finish

ZINO;-

30 thousand! damn, what can we do with thirty thousand?

KEVIN;-

we can start by giving out that money to the hospital,

DEDE;-

Then what?, if it took us three years to have that money besides it's

not even half of the deposit

 JACK;-

guys, guys, guys remember what i told you earlier to think about

anything we can do to make money, like a business, did anybody get any

ideas?

BABA;-

i was thinking of a grocery in the market

KEVIN;-

do you think they will even rent us anywhere after all we have done?

MARTIN;-

laughs his weird laugh [Kevo slaps him in the back of his head to shut

up]

JACK;-

yeah they woun't even let people buy from us, any other idea?

-They looked at each other with blank faces no, no, no , nope

DEDE;-

why don't you give us your idea.

[Jack started walking and they followed him chatting]

JACK;-

my idea? you mean what i think?ive thought about something for long,

but, beforet that, i want to let you know what im thinking right now. I

have never met my parents because i found myself in a home, when i

asked about them they told me a woman brought me when i was young and

never came back, i was wondering what kind of a mother would do that?

KEVIN;-

I lost both of my parents to HIV aids my grandfather died before i was

even born all i have is my grandma who we take care of each other, what

im saying is that you can be without parents for many reasons

ZINO;-

when we came to the city with my small bro Dede our parents thought we

had come to heaven take the money and bring it back home now it has

been more more than 6 years we cant even dare to go back because they

expect so much from us, Instead, look what we are doing, just picking

up garbarge and roaming around like orphans, we can't even afford

tickets to go back home

MARTIN;-
 my father believes i'm weaker than my sister, He doesn't want me to

hang out with guys and thinks a'm wasting time picking up garbage with

you guys he wants me to do computers but i know i will prove him wrong

one day

BABA;-

my mother is all i have and i love her very much, i will go whenever i

have to, just to see her get well

DEDE;-

She is like a mother to us all and we will do whatever we can to make

sure she's in hospital

JACK;-

I thought of something last night, what if we start a rock band

ZINO;-

what!! are you serious?

JACK;-

Why not? look there are very many rock fans who have never been to a

rock concert don't you think that's a problem? and let me tell you a

secret guys whenever there is a problem the solution is always money.

Example you get sick that's a problem to be cured you need money,

getting food is a problem to eat you need money, getting clothes to

 wear that's a problem to offer a solution is getting money, don't you

get it? To make money in this world the first thing to do is to find a

problem.

MARTIN;-

And how does it connect that making a rock band is making a solution?

JACK;-

In many ways, first, most rock bands in the world are white and having

a black rock band we will easily be noticed all we need is a plan that

will expose us, besides their are many rockfans who would love to see a

live show but haven't got the chance because the rockbands in America

and europe think that Africans don't listen to rock, oh it's third

world how can they afford us, i ain't got time for charity shows and so

on and so forth. See that's a problem, but it comes as an advantage to

us because we will be the only thing around, the only solution, i tell

you, picture this if we make our break we can tour all over Africa

Mozambique, Zambia, Namibia, who doesn't want to see Namibia, all of us

want to go to Namibia and do a great show over there or do you want to

stay in this little town selling vegetables and tomatoes till you die,

com' on guys think

ZINO;-

damn, i have never thought of something like that, i think that's

genious, one thing i can tell you bro, you have vision and if we are

serious we can make it happen. One thing i've always known if you see

it in your head you can have it in your finger tips, i don't care what
 it takes but i've seen where we are supposed to be and i'll make sure

we get there

MARTIN;-

i love to travel see the wildlife hyenas, he he he

[slaps Martin on the back of head]

KEVIN;-

com' on guys can we do this seriously?, i want to be a superstar, have

alot of chicks

DEDE;-

[Shouted] yeah we can do it, we are going to be rockstars

KEVIN;-

If you think we can do it let me hear you shout yeah we can do it

All of them shouted ;-

yeah we can do it, yeah we can do it yeah we can do it, yeah we can do

it
 BABA;-

how long is it gonna take before we pay the deposit?

[The mood was shut down, and they all came back to reality]

JACK;-

yeah yeah about that i think we can start by getting the band together

first

ZINO;-

Then what?

MARTIN;-

We can organise a fundraiser, which we can perform for the people who

will come, we can entertain the guests

KEVIN;-

yeah that's a nice place to start, guys we have to get this thing

moving soon as possible i mean time is running out we have to take a

patient to hospital
