Original title Verdens Største Udfordringer
A series of three programmes determined to open the eyes of the viewer to the fact that African countries contain much more than famine and starvation. There is hope, ambition and trust in the future. But the African people know that there are many challenges to overcome in order to achieve their goals. Goals like improvement of education, emancipation from colonial history and bringing and end to the most devastating poverty. The Challenges of Our Time meets the Africans eye to eye. To hear their stories and to see the results of their work at shaping a better future for their country and their families. The series takes an uplifting and optimistic look at the continent and refuses to embark on yet another journey that focuses only at the problems and what the continent cannot do.
