Just a reminder that the WORLD PREMIERE of Operation Imani: Ideas for Sustainable African Development is in only 3 days time. July 10th, 7:15pm at Fifth Avenue Cinemas (2110 Burrard Street Vancouver). Make sure to SPREAD THE WORD to all your Vancouver contacts!

A little (somewhat unrelated) teaser: those that make it out to the screenings will hear a Tanzanian hip hop song playing over the closing credits. It’s called “Peace and Love” and it’s performed by a close Tanzanian friend of mine named Nico “Wisemad” Benjamin. When I was first dabbling in amateur filmmaking I threw together this little piece on Nico, who spent 4 years living on the streets as a child. Check it out.
