Just discovered the trailer of this documentary film shot in Guinea: "Black Out"
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EpGJ0FnJwwU
Details from the producers:
Only about a fifth of Guinea's people have access to electricity. With few families able to afford generators, children have discovered the international airport, petrol stations and traffic roundabouts as unlikely places to revise. They are amongst the only places where they will always find light.
A literal and metaphorical journey towards enlightenment, "Black Out" shows the obstacles these children have to overcome to achieve their dreams in one of the world's poorest countries.
With the children's resourcefulness and determination acting as a metaphor for the country at large, the film asks whether Guinea can at last fulfill its potential and secure a better future for its people.
Directed by Eva Weber
Produced by Claire Neate-James & Kat Mansoor
A co-production between HSI London, Odd Girl Out Productions and Animal Monday in association with Britdoc, Puma, Chicken & Egg Pictures and Rooftop Films.
