Photojournalists Rick Gershon and Nathan Golon traveled to Angola for 10 days recently to tell the story of the work of the Mines Advisory Group at work uncovering the thousands of mines laid by rebel forces in that African country. This was also a test for the new Canon C300 camera, which is capable of delivering cinema like imagery. The photography is stunning. We are linking to this project with the cooperation of MediaStorm After 30 years of civil war, the Angolan people live with daily reminders of conflict. 10 million mines and vast amounts of unexploded ordnance litter the ground, making every step a potentially life-threatening decision. See the project at http://mediastorm.com/clients/surviving-the-peace-angola-for-mag Mines Advisory Group is set to premier the film in Washington, DC on February 6, 2013 to coincide with a campaign to raise $100,000 for their demining program in Angola. On February 7, MAG is holding a fundraiser in Angola and will give the film to attendees. Throughout the year MAG will also use it at fundraising screenings as well as other screenings targeted at colleges and universities to build awareness.
