The finished film

After the amazing day of the screening in which the church at Matindi school was absolutely jam-packed with excited school-children (it must have been 200+ pupils easily), village elders and other local dignitaries, we all returned to the UK. I then spent some time putting the finishing touches to the videos e.g. polishing the sound mix (so that all the interviews were at the right level) and adjusting colour levels. I also created a subtitled version as Julia, my wife and Catcher Media Social producer, said that it wasn't always easy to understand what was being said (after I'd been in Malawi three weeks it all seemed perfectly clear to me) and made a few changes based on feedback from DAPP in Malwai.
