Sing, Freetown: Q&A

Emmy-winning journalist Sorious Samura embarks on a journey to create an epic work of national theatre for his home country, Sierra Leone. It doesn't go as planned.

“A hugely special, rewarding documentary” * The Guardian Emmy winning filmmaker from Sierra Leone, Sorious Samura, has grown tired telling negative stories about Africa.

He embarks on a journey with his best friend, Sierra Leone’s most famous playwright, Charlie Haffner, to create an epic work of national theatre – a play to reclaim their country from negative media narratives and the damaging legacy of colonial rule. It doesn’t go as planned.
