We helped them secure a new lease for the media centre, supported community outreach efforts for The New Boats and supported production of a handful of new projects. while also premiering a set of exciting projects we co-produced. The New Boats is an investigative documentary that presents an eye-opening look at the impact of International Industrialized fishing in West African waters and it's disastrous effect on local communities. The film premiered on ARTE in 2023. Two standout new projects we are supporting are Arthur Pratts Darkness & the Light, and Lansana Barmmy Boy Mansarays, Ar-mant Mu-baike (Water is coming). Darkness & the Light is a poetic meditation on the intersections of race, Christianity, and morality that confronts contradictions at the heart of Americas spiritual and political identity.
