Sierra Leone's Refugee All Stars

This weekend I was up at Ithaca College, watching another group of All-Stars, the softball team, qualify for the National Championship next weekend. It was sad to miss Pangea Day. Some of the folks in the multicast community tried unsuccessfully to multicast it to the entire world, but the legal obstacles could not be overcome in time. Thanks to them anyways for trying. This is one of the clips that hit me, there are lots more on line...

Right after my short post and link to the video, I realized I wanted to say more about how inspirational this clip is.

Lo and behold, Banker White, its co-director and co-producer, posted a comment today taking the words out of my mouth. Banker pointed out the entire video is 80 minutes long, and provided its great WEB SITE. The full DVD is also available here.

I was co-director/producer for this film. Pangea Day was an amazing event. And it has been a privilege to be a part of bringing the inspiring story of the individuals in this band to the world. This is only five minutes of an 80 minute feature doc. too. please visit www.refugeeallstars.org to see and hear more.
THANKS

Banker, I put your info on your web site and DVD in the post, so it would be more visible. You guys did a great job! I watched about 20 Pangea Day video clips, and this is the one that moved me the most.
