Documentary Possibility from CTAOP

Hi all, like I said, I would send you a little blurb about the documentary Ashlee from Charlize Theron Africa Outreach Program told me about. If we ever want to show it at a screening!

It's called Angels in Exile and it focuses on kids from Durban, South Africa.

Here's the little blurb provided on their page about the documentary:

‘Angels In Exile’ challenges viewers to look past the violent and often graphic image of homeless youth and see them for what they are… children. In the face of constant violence, rape, trafficking abductions and murder, the street kids of Durban, South Africa have next to no way out, most turning to huffing glue for a temporary escape, resulting in addiction and pushing many over the edge to theft, dealing drugs and prostitution.Director Billy Raftery embeds himself, where most wouldn’t stop at a red light, to share a story 8 years in the making, focusing on two inspiring kids Zulieka and Ariel. A witness to their entire adolescence, we observe their fight to survive not only the dangers around them, but also the haunting memories of the past that led them to run to the streets in the first place.

You can go to this link and watch a trailer for it:

Just wanted to share this so we can keep it in mind!

Lots of GlobeMed Love!
