A Pan African film titled 'The Skeleton Coast', shot in the Namib Desert, is providing a springboard for African film makers to create world-class movies.

This is according to the producers of the film, who stressed the need for Africans to unite in telling their own stories and use the industry to create economic opportunities.

Namibia's Mondjila and Nigeria's Play Network Studios are the forces behind the epic film 'Skeleton Coast'.
