Support Bongo

Lost in the recent nonsense is that the 1938media channel on Verizon included content from many other indie producers.

One amazing project affected by the “black blogger boycott” is Bongo, a film and web series that follows a group of street youth recording a hip hop album in Tanzania.

Jay Grandin and Leah Nelson do amazing work. They are now looking for contributions to help finance the project. Regardless of how you feel about the Verizon situation, check out their work and help meet their fundraising goal by making a contribution on this page.

Even if you can’t make a contribution, please spread the word about the project and embed the video above.
