#SierraLeone: A passion project, award-winning SING, FREETOWN is a new documentary film that follows Sierra Leonean investigative journalist Sorious Samura, and his best friend, Sierra Leone’s most famous playwright, Charlie Heffner, as they try to produce an epic work of national theatre - a play that celebrates the culture and history of their country, seeking to reclaim the narrative from negative media portrayals and the harmful legacy of colonial rule.
Directed by Clive Patterson and produced by Insight TWI Films, with Nick Fraser as the executive producer, the film premiered at Sheffield DocFest in 2022 and was subsequently released in select UK cinemas to critical acclaim.
Independent sales agent Stranger Films Sales is handling the film.
Calling all #documentary lovers in Australia! Sing, Freetown will be broadcast tonight on @NITV at 9.05pm and available on SBS On Demand thereafter. Hope you all enjoy the film. sbs.com.au/ondemand/movie/si… #NITV #SBSOnDemand #SaloneTwitter #GreatStories

They just completely make shit up. It cost BBC a small fraction of that price. The landscaped terrace is basically a small bush. We’re surrounded by motorways in the middle of nowhere. Lots of Brits live in the building. Hilarious how obsessed they are with their anti BBC agenda.
We'll be back in New York for the @NYADIFF ! Come join us at 5pm on the 7th December at Cinema Village. Link to get tickets - nyadiff2022.eventive.org/fil… #ADIFFNY2022 #AfricanDiaspora #BIPOC #InternationalCinema #Arthouse #BlackFilmsMatter #NYCEvents #ADIFFNewYork #SaloneTwitter

Sing, Freetown.
From #SierraLeone featuring Sorious Samura & Haffner a playwright “it’s always the same images and negative news that shape public perceptions of Africa – and that in no way do the continent justice.”
