DALLAS-March 10, 2017- Caring For The World Films (CFTWF) is proud to announce its latest documentary film, titled CORNERSTONE, has been honored with the Award of Excellence in the Documentary Short, Liberation, Social Justice, Protest, and the Direction categories at the Accolade Global Film Competition, an international awards contest that honors those who demonstrate exceptional achievement in craft and creativity. CORNERSTONE is the inspiring documentary film about the journey of Twesigye Jackson Kaguri, a humble immigrant living the American dream who leaves Columbia University to return home to Uganda to help his home village save a generation of children orphaned by HIV/AIDS. The film, by award-winning director Debi Lang, touches on Jackson’s moving personal story, which inspired 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 and we are especially proud our peers have recognized its relevance.”
Caring For The World Films has been honored with over two-dozen international awards for their humanitarian films documenting efforts in Honduras, Belize, Nepal and Uganda since 2007.
