The SALT Collateral Benefits Programme (SCBP) was established during the construction of SALT (Southern African Large Telescope) as a means to utilise the knowledge, technology and other available resources within the SAAO and similar institutions in order to facilitate education enhancement, science communication, socio-economic development and public engagement and thereby contribute to the improvement of the quality of life of all people within reach.
The SCBP contracted Over the Sun, LLC to produce a short film introduction to the SCBP and the means by which it entices learners, through science education. Footage from this video was integrated as b-roll into two extensive interviews with members of the South African Astronomical Observatory and SCBP, “Govender, Mantungwa on South African Astronomical Observatory” and “Motsoaledi, Monageng on studying astronomy”
