Watching this from Accra Ghana. I am a computer science and cyber security student and this encourages me to work harder on my skills and tools I am building. It is also a bit intimidating since these guys are from a developed country with a lot of resources and expertise. But I think I also have something to offer. Thanks for the video.

Here's the thing about young people.  They're gullible.  These hackaphons aren't there to show off their talents, they're there so corporations can steal their ideas.

Seeing what's possible when you put in the work hits different when you're in the early grind. Really well-made documentary — thank you for putting this together.
