Opin Yu Yi Human Rights Film Festival begins in Sierra Leone

Come join us for our opening ceremony at Thomsonia Hall on Syke Street near the National Stadium from 6pm.
The wonderful Fatou Wurie (photographer, blogger, activist!) will be our MC for the evening.
We have fantastic musical performances from pianist Panos Karan of Keys of Change and The Walpolians - an inspiring group of disabled musicians.
If you missed Opin Yu Yi last year, we'll be showing a short film with highlights from 2012.
Our films for the evening are 30% - a beautiful short film about women's political participation in Sierra Leone which was recently selected for the prestigious Sundance Film Festival. This will be followed by a short question and answer with Miss Salumatu Kamara, a political candidate and one of the inspiring women in the film, along with the President of 50/50 Sierra Leone.
Our opening film will be - An African Election - a political documentary that shows the behind the scenes world of Ghanian politics during the 2008 elections and examines governance in Africa.
Susan Senessie will be hosting a "Pop Up Bar" and serving delicious drinks, cocktails and Sierra Leonean snacks before, during the interval and after the opening.
ENTRANCE IS FREE!
Please come and invite your colleagues and friends to OPEN THEIR EYES!!
