Default One Day In Africa - Map for Saturday Sequel

Well it's not really a sequel, just Brook's second documentary. This one is a bit different, not about backpacking. Instead he profiles the lives of 6 people in 6 different countries in Africa. And it looks like the film is finally done! It's not available on DVD yet but I see screenings scheduled including one for the middle of this month in Boston. Wish I could be there....

Quote:
With a loose itinerary and no specific narrative goals, Silva-Braga began shooting one-day profiles of people he met along the way. The first was Osama, a shopkeeper in Fez, Morocco.

[...]

“I was struck by the difference between the way most people led their lives and what I expected based on what I had seen in movies or read in magazines,” he says. “Almost everyone seems to go to Africa to tell a story about war or AIDS or orphans or misery. And while those things all exist they aren’t the day-to-day reality of most people.”
There's a trailer plus video profiles of the 6 people featured in the film here:

One Day in Africa

Can't wait for the DVD! And with luck the film tour will come through texas...
