"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 develope 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 organisation, 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.

The show is on today, at 6 pm, japanese time, on BS, a channel of NHK. Unfortunately in Germany it can only viewed via satellite, within the parameters 40° west and 40° east, but you can see a trailer here:
