Join Emmy Award-winning filmmaker and journalist Michael Davie as he shares dramatic and uplifting stories from Africa, a continent often misrepresented in the news media. Born in Zimbabwe, Davie chronicles the lives of common people caught in the crosscurrents of political, cultural and environmental change. Enriching his presentation with tales of adventure, extraordinary personal encounters, and riveting film clips, Davie gives voice to an Africa we rarely see. His recent work for Ripple Effect Images, a team of photojournalists documenting aid programs, has helped empower women in emerging nations around the world.
