The Purpose of Voices the Movie
An examination of one of the Worlds poorest countries, rife with AIDS, low on technology, lacking in basic infrastructure with a pandemic of lost knowledge and even social traditions because people are not living long enough. Yet, strangely , they are very Happy people. Would you like to see why? To show these people, how they live, the joy and music that they have and the places where they live, a view from the other side of the world. Plus their views on us and what they see in the lives we lead. I also believe that the story will evolve and take shape as we are shooting because not having the answers to the questions that we seek can lead us down paths we are not aware of.
Shot in High Definition Video.
