Survivors of the mudslide have developed a new play about the night of the mudslide. The theatrical performance, which is an improvisation, will tell the survivors' personal stories of what happened during the mudslide and share their hopes for the future. The play will give a vivid picture of their lives when the tragic mudslide occured and share how they survived what nature had in store for them.
Our production team will follow this group through their rehearsals until their presentation day. We have conducted interviews with several members of the group to see how their personal stories will help us understand what happened and what they hope to achieve with the theatrical performance. We want to experiment with this theatrical performance done by the actual victims to see whether it fits into the narrative of our film.
The staged performance will be done on the 27th of April, 2017 which is Sierra Leone’s Independence Day. In May, we will release a series of clips that will remind people of the mudslide as a campaign to get communities to change their behavior with regards to the environment and possible dangers in the rainy season.
We appreciate your interest and support in our film. Please share our project with your family and friends.
Thanks,
Arthur Pratt
