Interview with Nyaka student Anisha Akandinda DALLAS/East Lansing, MI–(September 9, 2015)–-Caring For The World Films announces it is headed into post-production in a few weeks for their latest documentary profiling Nyaka AIDS Orphans Project just as the six-week location shoot wraps up in Uganda.
Director and Producer Debi Lang and her four-crew member team spent the summer in a remote region of western Uganda to document the compelling story of Nyaka founder Jackson Kaguri. He created the organization to combat the devastation that the HIV/AIDS epidemic left behind in his village. The team shot over a hundred hours of footage, which includes over seventy interviews. “You just cannot imagine the economic destruction left in the wake of HIV/AIDS. This is lost to many people when formulating strategies to combat the disease,” says Lang. “All of us on the crew were blown away by the reach and impact Nyaka has made on these two affected districts.
Lang is eager to begin post-production and she estimates it will be next summer before the film is completed. The post-production team includes Cinder Cone Media founder and composer Howard Wulkan who will score the film and finishing editor and colorist Tim Werner.
Lang added, “Through our pro-bono documentary films, we hope to bring awareness to the exhaustive efforts of relatively unknown and successful non-profit humanitarian organizations such as the Nyaka AIDS Orphans Project.
An IndieGoGo crowd-funding campaign is still active to raise funds for post-production. All funds collected after June 16th will be matched up to $1000. To donate please visit http://igg.me/at/NyakaDocumentary2016/x
