We’re delighted to share our latest BBC film 'Mayor on the Frontline'
Filmed over the course of a year, this documentary follows @yakisawyerr as she fights to win a second term in the midst of one of Sierra Leone’s most fiercely contested elections.

I’m proud to share this new film, shot on the busiest maternal and newborn wards in Sierra Leone.
Witnessing the birth of new life was an incredibly special experience and we’re very grateful to the many families who let us share this journey with them.
