Short documentary: "Take us to Jozi" - The instagramers of Johannesburg

Instagram is super popular with people from all walks of life. Sharing photos via the social networking service became somehow the personalised postcard 2.0+ over the last couple of years. At least for some. The short documentary "Rake us to Jozi" gives us an insight on the Instagramscene in Johannesburg in South Africa and allows us to get to know some of the most popular Instagramers of the city. Kudos Gareth Pon!
