Please watch on World AIDS Day, Tuesday December 1st 2009, Camfed’s premiere screening of their award-winning documentary film, Where the Water Meets the Sky. The movie premiers on the Sundance Channel at 10 EST. You can also watch the live stream panel discussion which starts at 7.30pm EST on FORA.tv.
Written by Jordan Roberts (March of the Penguins) and narrated by Academy Award®-winner Morgan Freeman, Where the Water Meets the Sky tells the inspiring story of a group of women in a remote region of Northern Zambia who achieve the unimaginable: they learn how to make a film as a way to speak out about their lives, raising an issue that no one will discuss- the plight of young women orphaned by AIDS.
There will also be a panel discussion, streamed live on FORA.tv, that will bring to life the issues highlighted in the film, and explore the ways in which film can be a powerful tool for social change.
You’ll get a behind-the-scenes glimpse into the filmmaking process and the issues that the film addresses from the panelists – among them, a participatory filmmaker from Ghana; the Zambian educator who helped change the fate of the young woman at the center of the film; and Camfed’s founder and Executive Director.
JANERA collaborated in the production of this event.
