Envision - UN + IFP film forum

The first annual conference held to figure out how the UN can work with documentary filmmakers to help bring awareness to its Millennium goals. I got to see: 'Rough Aunties' an tear-jerking but uplifting film about the Bobbi Bear organization in Durban that helps abused children; and 'Pray the Devil Back to Hell' about Muslim and Christian women in Liberia, who joined together to stop the war - it's made a powerful impact, because women in other war torn countries, who saw the film have used similar tactics.
