# Beyond the Unicorn - Africans making IT in Silicon Valley

In hyper-competitive Silicon Valley, California, African entrepreneurs pursue their passion of building the next big technology company. Over 70% of Silicon Valley founders come from outside the United States; yet, only a fraction are from Africa. Beyond the Unicorn is a half-hour documentary that takes viewers on a personal and inspiring journey through the insular world of tech start-ups and profiles the African entrepreneurs who dare to build them.
