Sorious Samura - European press held back by political correctness...

Great to see our most famous Sierra Leonean journalist back in the press. Met him yesterday at the SL4U do and he seems a top bloke. After breaking into the scene with "Cry Freetown" this dude has been on a roll, delivering programmes that takes the viewers into the life of the subject collecting multiple awards in the progress.

He does make some valid points in this article in this morning's observer. He's managed to deliver it whilst not biting the hand hand that feeds him.

I try to watch every documentary that this great filmmaker does. Amongst New Media journalists and editors and producers and readers/viewers, Sorious Samura is already one of the great ones.

Sierra Leone and all of Africa can be very proud of the work of this great filmmaker. Have you seen his latest documentary "Living with Illegals"? It aired on CNN International in July 2006. Trademark Samura. In-your-face documentary filmmaking about the desperate flight of Africans to the Promised Land (Europa). Riveting.
