technologies as their platform.
Prior to the videoconference, each location will screen the film Beat the Drum (Director: David
Hickson, S.A.), winner of more than 15 awards from international film festivals, and the documentary by
GlobalVision, NKOSI: A VOICE OF AFRICA'S AIDS ORPHANS (Director: Danny Schechter), slated for
broadcast simultaneously by MNET in South Africa and 41 other countries in Africa on June 14th.
