The purpose of the program has been to share the work of NGOs operating in various countries across Africa.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI think all of us are pretty saddened to hear that the program is going away,\u201d says Caroline Roffe (BFA\/News and Documentary \u201817). \u201cI\u2019ve been hearing about it since my freshmen year from all of the people who have gone before. I hope there is a way to continue the program in some capacity, because it\u2019s such a wonderful experience.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-9250\" src=\"https:\/\/blogs.chapman.edu\/dodge\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/74\/2016\/10\/EL_9383.jpg\" alt=\"malawi\" width=\"580\" height=\"387\" \/><\/p>\n<p>For example, Roffe \u201clearned how to communicate with people across continents,\u201d she says, \u201cmany of whom don\u2019t have the technology we have. I also learned how to conduct interviews through a translator, which is interesting, because we often only understood the gist of what was being said. It was a challenge, but we still managed to get what we need for the film.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In Malawi, a small country nestled in the heart of South Africa, the students worked with the NGOs to create documentaries about the communities those organizations serve. One tells the story of a hip-hop dance troupe from a refugee camp that went on to become champions of Malawi\u2019s Got Talent. Another documents the lives of children living in an orphanage in the southern part of the country, called Smile Malawi.\u00a0 But most horrific is the documentary exposing the plight faced by people with albinism, who are often sold off and murdered by people who believe their body parts will bring them good fortune.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere\u2019s nothing that can prepare you for hearing a story like that,\u201d says Leon Dominguez-Lukic (BFA\/News and Documentary \u201817), who interviewed the parents of David Fletcher, a young man with albinism who was butchered and found dead in Mozambique.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-9251\" src=\"https:\/\/blogs.chapman.edu\/dodge\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/74\/2016\/10\/Miriam-Int.jpg\" alt=\"malawi\" width=\"580\" height=\"385\" \/><\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhen you read the news, you hear about death and violence and you assume it doesn\u2019t affect you. It\u2019s very different, though, hearing about it from someone\u2019s parents. They haven\u2019t even been able to get his body back, because they can\u2019t afford to travel to Mozambique. They did a memorial service, but never buried their son.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHearing those words coming from a mother and father made it really hard to continue with the interview, because these people are still in mourning and in pain. I thought reading about it would make it easier, but it wasn\u2019t. When it\u2019s not just a number or a name on a list, when it\u2019s real people, it changes how you feel.\u201d<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><em><strong>EDITOR\u2019S NOTE:<\/strong><\/em> This article originally appeared in the Fall 2016 issue of In Production.
