Human rights struggle in Africa

author on Apr 6, 2010

A premiere screening of Kenny Mann’s latest documentary film, “Walking with Life—The Birth of a Human Rights Movement in Africa,” will be offered on Sunday, April 11, at Bay Street Theatre in Sag Harbor.

Doors open at 2 p.m., and preceding the screening of the 40-minute film, the Balafon Band from Senegal will play traditional Senegalese music on stage. The screening will start at approximately 3 p.m., followed by a question and answer period before the afternoon continues with a reception, dancing and 50/50 raffle. Tickets are $10 at the door only.

Ms. Mann, who has been traveling to Senegal since 2006, believes that viewers of “Walking with Life” become eyewitnesses to the empowerment of people through human rights education. Trailer is available www.rafikiproductions.com/films_walking_with_life.html. For information, call 646-479-5884 or 631-725-2620.
