Documentary Film Screening

This documentary chronicles the 1983-1985 Ethiopian Famine, highlighting the courageous efforts of journalists who documented the crisis. It also explores the creation of the iconic "We Are the World" single by Michael Jackson and a group of musicians in response to the famine.

Following the screening, attendees will have the opportunity to participate in a Q&A session with the filmmakers, subject matter experts, and journalists involved with the project.

Info: The post-screening Q&A will be a moderated discussion featuring the filmmaker, Ethiopian community leaders, and faculty members of the School of Journalism. The conversation will explore the documentary’s central themes, the stories and perspectives presented, and their significance for Ethiopia, Eritrea, and the diaspora. Audience members will have the opportunity to ask questions, share reflections, and discuss the film’s cultural, historical, and social implications. The Q&A will foster meaningful dialogue, deepen understanding, and encourage connections across generations and communities.
