The Team Plays on the Big Screen

2011 June 8
by sfcg

Search for Common Ground started our soap opera series The Team in Kenya, in the aftermath of the 2008 post-election violence. Since then it has grown to be a multi-nation phenomenon, entertaining and engaging people across the globe. This month, you have a chance to see the process behind that first show in Kenya.

Canadian filmmaker, Patrick Reed, follows our work in Kenya with a new documentary, aptly named The Team. The film speaks with cast members, writers and producers to understand what the production means to each of them and how a show can change attitudes and behaviors.

The Team has already screened to acclaim at international film festivals and those of you on the Eastern seaboard can enjoy it at the Human Rights Watch Film Festival in New York or at The Silverdocs Documentary Film Festival in Silver Spring, MD.
