An Emmy-award winning filmmaker and journalist, Zimbabwe-born Michael Davie has immersed himself in the wilderness and unpredictability of Africa—from the front lines of war in Liberia, to the battle to save the Congo’s endangered mountain gorillas, to a progressive prisoner rehab program in South Africa.
In this deeply personal account, Davie evokes the brutality, heartache, and beauty of his misunderstood continent, with one goal in mind: to raise awareness about the courage and humanity among its people. From a place where there are few easy answer, Davie asks the tough questions and gives a voice to the Africa we rarely see.
Enriching his presentation with tales of adventure, extraordinary personal encounters, and riveting film clips, Davie will appeal to all those wanting to understand Africa today and its role in our future. High school audiences only (Grades 9–12).
Registration opens December 8. Seats are limited so register early! Registrations will not be taken over the phone.
