Here is part of the email that I sent them <br /><br />Dear Durban International Film Festival <br /><br />I have just posted a comment on both your facebook page, and on my own fb page too :<br /><br />Nelson Mandela was in prison when as a newly qualified Chartered Surveyor for the UNITY PROJECT in the London Borough of Southwark I involved Faith Isiakpere my old school friend from Addey & Stanhope School after discovering that the trade literature was headed up COON DISCO http://soundcloud.com/roy-hobson/04-track-04 This in turn led to the development of the Channel 4 film 'The Crossing', and then to the involvement of another former Addey & Stanhope School pupil, Ezra Attia's black interior designer Elaine Tomlinson. Faith Isiakpere’s film The Algiers Murders at this year's Durban International Film Festival is a dark narcotics thriller set against the violent background of the amphetamine and cocaine trade. It is based on a series of police-instigated killings that took place in New Orleans in 1980 and is a relentless narrative of power, manipulation, murder, corruption and degradation. Black Madonna of UNITY pray for us!<br /><br />Also Ben Odeje of South East London School in Deptford became England's first black footballer at any level, when he played for England Schoolboys in 1971. I gave Ben Sharlene Versfeld of DIFF's contact details so he could explore the possibility of making his life story into a film vesperhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08218369501123975523noreply@blogger.com
