Notes

1. The project webpage includes additional information: https://cpcs.wp.st-andrews.ac.uk/research/liberia-legacies-of-peace/

2. I’m grateful to Nyasha Mutongwizo, whose in-progress doctoral work on informal livelihood activities of marginalised youth in Zimbabwe has extended and challenged my understandings of hustling, and brought my attention to some of the sources cited here.

3. One of the few other examples of this kind of work of film as medium to explore peacebuilding is Chocolate de Paz (Chocolate of Peace) (2016), co-directed by researcher Gwen Burnyeat and Pablo Mejia Trujillo about the peace community of San José de Apartadó in Colombia (https://chocolatedepaz.com/english; see also Burnyeat 2019).
