FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
 
DALLAS-February 20, 2017- Caring For The World Films (CFTWF) announced today Director Debi Lang has won the prestigious Award of Excellence from the IndieFest Film Awards.  The award was given for her latest documentary film CORNERSTONE, which profiles Twesigye Jackson Kaguri’s moving personal story and the inspiration for the creation of Nyaka AIDS Orphans Project.
 
“When we discovered the Nyaka story, we were shocked no one had produced a feature film about Jackson and his journey to save the AIDS orphans and grandmothers of his home village in Western Uganda.  AIDS had pretty much wiped out his generation.” said Lang. “With the help of the community, they together figured out realistic solutions to the crisis they faced.  CORNERSTONE elegantly captures the Nyaka story, which without a doubt, demonstrates Jackson's efforts are worthy of a Nobel Peace Prize."
