Have your say about Yellow Card!
Yellow Card has sparked debate and discussion among young people right across Africa. The film tackles real issues that affect millions of teenagers every day — love, sex, responsibility and the consequences of our choices.
What viewers are talking about:
• Should Tiyane have told Linda the truth from the beginning?
• Was Juliet right to reject Tiyane when she found out about the baby?
• How should parents talk to their children about sex and relationships?
• What would YOU do in Tiyane's situation?
• Is the film realistic about teenage life in Africa today?
From the discussion groups:
"The thing about Tiyane is he's not a bad guy. He's just scared. And that's what makes it real — because we're all scared sometimes."
— Student, age 17, Harare
"I think Linda was too soft. She should have demanded Tiyane take responsibility much earlier. But then, that's the whole point of the film isn't it?"
— Student, age 16, Bulawayo
"My favourite part is when Tiyane finally holds his baby. You can see everything change in his face. That's when the boy becomes a man."
— Teacher, Mutare
"We watched this at our school and afterwards nobody could stop talking about it. The boys were all arguing about whether Tiyane was right or wrong. That's exactly what the film is supposed to do."
— School counsellor, Gweru
