Project Uganda

Project Uganda

Project Uganda [http://www.projectuganda.com] (www.projectuganda.com) is an independent documentary film initiative supported by the Canadian International Development Agency (CIDA - [http://www.cida.gc.ca] ). It is helmed by two participants in the Concordia University Volunteer Abroad Program (CUVAP - [http://www.concordiavolunteers.org] ). The film's purpose will be to document the lives of 24 Concordia students on an aid initiative in the northern Uganda town of Gulu. It will incorporate interpretive narration, interviews with the Canadian subjects and the Ugandan orphans they've come to help, and a melee of evocative footage. In an attempt to lead the viewer through time and place, it will follow the students, from pre-departure angst, through two months of aid work, then back again to readjust to North American life. As the film navigates these contrasting landscapes, its purpose will be to expose the Canadian effort in sub-Saharan Africa, and the unique approach one Canadian University has taken to international development. Most importantly, Project Uganda [http://www.projectuganda.com] will discover the harmony that crosses cultures and unites us all in a vision for a greater world community.
