The people of Djenne (Mali, Africa) end the dry season with a special tradition. They plaster their mosque. This fairy-like building is the largest adobe construction in the world. Due to high temperatures and the (scarce) rainfall it erodes quickly. To prevent the Grande Mosquee from 'melting down' to just a pile of clay, the Djenneke join forces at the fete de crepissage. This documentary follows the preamble to the festival and shows us a different Africa than we think we know. Throughout this storyline runs the tale of a many century old legend about the genesis of Djenne.

In this compelling video, we delve into the significant impact of Trump's Supreme Court appointments and their far-reaching consequences for our rights and freedoms. With Brett Kavanaugh among the three radical justices installed during his presidency, the Trump Supreme Court has actively undermined decades of progress on critical issues like Roe v. Wade and affirmative action. As we approach the 2024 election, the stakes have never been higher. The Trump Supreme Court's decisions have not only jeopardized reproductive rights by dismantling the protections established by Roe v. Wade but have also put affirmative action at risk, threatening to roll back decades of hard-fought advancements in civil rights. Each ruling from the Trump Supreme Court reflects a shift toward extreme conservatism that disregards the rights of women, minorities, and the LGBTQ+ community. If Trump were to win again in the 2024 election, he could potentially appoint even more justices to the Supreme Court, further threatening to reshape the judicial landscape for generations. The prospect of another Trump judge on the bench raises alarm bells for anyone who cares about democracy and fundamental rights. Join us as we explore how the Trump Supreme Court is waging an all-out war on fundamental rights and why we must rally together to prevent another Trump judge from taking a seat. Our discussion will highlight the specific ways in which the Trump Supreme Court has dismantled essential protections and examine the implications for future generations. The future of our democracy hangs in the balance-watch now to understand why your voice matters in the upcoming election. Don't forget to like, share, and subscribe for more insights on the 2024 election, the ongoing battle for our rights, and the critical importance of safeguarding our Supreme Court from further radicalization. Together, we can ensure that Trump's vision for the Supreme Court does not become a reality.

Brother Time is a mythic tale of neighbors from different tribes caught in a wider conflict. Kenya erupted in ethnic violence after the 2007 Presidential election, and the two friends fell apart when, suddenly, it was 'not the brother time.' Filmed in the Rift Valley during the clashes, the roots of tribalism are explored as one who saw the worst of the conflict returns home to see his neighbor. To be released during the 2012 Presidential campaign, this message of hope shows it can be Brother Time once again.
