You
Are Here: A Documentary follows
a young medical student’s journey into the
heart of rural Africa to volunteer at a community
health clinic run by a retired American physician.
Through his experiences there, the film examines
the question of why, after 30 years and billions
of dollars of aid effort to Africa, have many regions
of this troubled part of the globe gotten statistically
worse? The project, both a social justice film and
a character study, takes on some of the most troubling
problems in Africa on a micro level. Through the
eyes of a westerner, You Are Here: A Documentary
explores the beautiful strangeness of Africa as
well as its great potential for both hope and disaster. |
