Time/Money = Change - Part I

This film examines the multifaceted phenomenon of post-conflict 'development' in the new nation of South Sudan, where the majority of the population are now returned refugees. In contrast to the last fifty years of civil war, the massive NGO (non government organisation) presence is widely regarded as an unquestionable good. However, those with more insight into the western world are beginning to articulate some of the hidden cultural effects of capitalist development.

Thanks for visiting.

I chose the imagery in an attempt to situate the viewer in Juba at the ground level, which is a highly paradoxical and confusing place to be (a major message of the film).

I am not so interested in documentaries that give you their argument 'on a plate' so to speak. I generally find that a more subtle approach to matching sound and image allows more space for interpretation, and for people to reach their own conclusions, as they must do in real life.

Would be lovely if some of my viewers would tell me what they think of the film...

Feedback is sooooo hard to get!

Cheers for dropping by,

These 3 videos give more insight and depth to life in Juba,Sudan than sooo many others I've seen. I love the various perspectives and images used to show the beauty of this land and the Southern Sudanese people. We were just talking last night about ways to help family in Juba, how to best invest and help from here in America. It's not an easy answer...Thank you so much for these videos. I look forward to future productions.  :) sarah emerson mack
