Free Media in the Horn of Africa: Four Short Documentaries and a Debate

The Horn of Africa is a particularly difficult area for free media to survive; they're enduring repression but also war, famine and extreme poverty. We want to examine different initiatives who work in Kenya, Ethiopia and Sudan. They all have a different approach in creating and supporting free media. We'll have a discussion on different techniques, ways of working with local population and the government under difficult circumstances. But we don't want to restrict ourselves to talking. Some of the initiatives will present themselves in short documentaries so that you'll get a deeper feeling and greater understanding for the local context. We would like to invite you to participate and critically celebrate press freedom.
