In the second episode of Ekoneni: Street Corner Stories, we meet Cape Town director Shane Vermooten​, who just released his first feature length film and Africa's first medical thriller, BYPASS. BYPASS tackles the challenging subject of organ donation and highlights the underbelly of South Africa’s organ trafficking black market. With only 2% of South Africans on the organ donor list, filmmaker Shane Vermooten hopes to play a role in changing the low numbers of organ donation in the country. Shane is a 2015 Mandela Washington Fellow, the flagship programme of US President Obama’s Young African Leaders Initiative (YALI) that empowers young people through academic coursework, leadership training and networking. In 2016, he was named as one of the Mail & Guardian's 200 Young South Africans. Learn more at www.bypassmovie.com. Find a full transcript of this episode at www.ekoneni.com.
