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  touches on Jackson’s moving personal story, which inspired the creation of Nyaka AIDS Orphans Project and projected him onto an international stage addressing education, women and girls empowerment, social justice as well as authoring a number of well received books.

"We are humbled that CORNERSTONE continues to resonate with our peers and audiences around the world and are extremely honored it has been recognized by Impact DOCS," said Lang. "Mr. Kaguri's story is one that will inspire generations to come." 

Caring For The World Films and Director Debi Lang have been honored with numerous international awards for their films documenting humanitarian efforts around the world since 2007.
