What's Fufu?

I came across some really interesting video clips on the Internet the other day and they have also been shown on TV, it was a mini-series called Raw Cuts which was a 4talent/NSPCC competition where teenagers could create a short video to have aired on Channel 4. The first What’s Fufu? Was an animated short narrated by a teenager describing what she went through being adopted into a White British family and trying to find her Nigerian cultural identity. The second is called Home Country where a teenager talks about acceptance of his heritage and culture regardless of the opinions of others.

This just goes to show that young people today, even though they can be lumped together as being very similar, (especially in the media); cultural heritage and a sense of belonging is important to the majority and is hardly ever forgotten. Click on the links to watch.
