Trailer for Uphill

In the summer of 2007, I spent six weeks living in a remote village in Mbale, Uganda, shooting my own documentary.

While my aunt, a science teacher taught biology to Ugandan high school students, I shot video, interviewed people and immersed myself in a very different world.

During my time in Uganda, I cataloged footage of schools, families, religious practices, daily life and development throughout the various communities I visited.

The film looks at many issues facing communities like Mbale in the developing world: disease, ignorance and poverty.

It focuses mainly on the children and how their lives are improved through education and ravaged by the water and AIDS crisis.

After surviving a head-on collision, a bad case of malaria and the reality of a hospital stay in Africa, not to mention total culture shock, I came home to edit 11 hours of footage into a 22 minute documentary entitled "Uphill''.

I hope you all enjoy the film and if you would like to find out how you can help please visit www.kulanu.org
