Walking With Life - The Birth of the Human Rights Movement in Africa| 38mins
Director: Kenny Mann | Producer: Kenny Mann
Focus Years: 2010 | Country: United States
Synopsis:
Punctuated by the songs of a griot or oral historian, this film – shot entirely on location in Senegal – pulses to the dramatic beat of traditional theatre, music and dance. These tools are used by Tostan, an award-winning NGO, to help people discover their human rights and the meaning of democracy. Their new learning inspires participants to re-examine ancient customs, such as female genital cutting and forced early marriage. Health and hygiene, community resources, environmental issues and girls’ education are all scrutinized through the lens of human rights. As positive social changes sweep the country, the people of Senegal rejoice in triumph. Whisked from the placid villages of the Casamance to the harsh desert of the Fouta and the teeming streets of Dakar, viewers become eye-witnesses to the empowerment of people through human rights education.
