CORNERSTONE WINS AT THE AFRICAN FILM FESTIVAL

7/12/2017

 
PictureTAFF AWARD FOR BEST CINEMATOGRAPHY
DALLAS-July 5, 2017- Caring For The World Films (CFTWF) is proud to announce its latest documentary film, titled CORNERSTONE, won the Best Cinematography Category and received a nomination for Best Documentary Feature at The African Film Festival Awards held July 3rd, which honors African films and independent filmmakers who demonstrate exceptional achievement in craft and creativity in filmmaking.
​


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 producer and director Debi Lang, touches on Jackson’s moving personal story, which inspired the creation of Nyaka AIDS Orphans Project.
​
“We are exceptionally honored to have CORNERSTONE recognized as a relevant film for Africa and especially proud that our peers recognize how elegantly the film captures the Nyaka story. To have CORNERSTONE win this category as well as nominated for Best Documentary Feature, is a testament to the ten-year effort to provide  a large scale platform for humanitarians such as Jackson Kaguri.,” said Executive Producer Steve Lang.
 
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. This will be the 9th award for CORNERSTONE since its release in 2016.
