‘Not In My Name’

Trending

Available for over a year

The death of a teenager in India led to an online campaign, which within days sparked a trending hashtag and worldwide street protests. We pick apart the #NotInMyName campaign. It’s a movement borne out of a teenagers death at the hands of a mob, and it’s found a voice both on and offline. And, viral videos coming out of West Africa have been showing people bouncing rice balls. But those behind the videos are not bouncing their food for fun. We talk about the rice rumours making waves in this part of the world.
