"Mission" is a documentary format of the Japanese broadcast NHK. It presents social projects and portraits the people behind them.
"Mission" shows the various forms of social engagement and wants to inspire the viewers to develop their own ideas to make change happen.
In summer 2010 the crew of director Yasuko Sakamoto accompanied BOXGIRLS founder and new Ashoka fellow Prof. Dr. Heather Cameron and her team during their stay in Cape Town, South Africa, to introduce the „Mission“ of BOXGIRLS by example of the newest project of the organization, BOXGIRLS Cape Town, that was founded only year ago in 2009: To help girls become strong leaders in strong community through boxing and self defense training.
In the documentary, the girls of the violent settlements in Atlantis and Khaylitcha talk about their challenges and plan to overcome them.
