Every week a group of South African teenagers crowd into a studio to play hip-hop and discuss neighbourhood gun crime for their community radio show, Bigger Than Life, on Alex FM. They are determined to help stem the violence that blights their densely populated township of Alexandra in Johannesburg.

The Bigger Than Life Project is supported by Gun Free SA and the Childrens Radio Foundation who train young reporters across Africa with leadership and journalistic skills to encourage youth dialogue and community building using the medium of radio which is still more easily accessible to most people on the continent.
