Aid to the Church in Need Film Crew

An all-Polish film crew from the Catholic organization, Aid to the Church in Need, arrived in Torit last Thursday as part of a more extensive visit to different sites in South Sudan, as well as Khartoum. The team will be producing documentaries on a number of different themes to highlight the life, struggles and needs of the Church in Sudan. In Torit the focus will be on the life of Fr. Saturnino Ohure, the civic and church hero of the Anya Nya One resistance to political and spiritual oppression of southerners by the north in the 1950s and 60s. He was killed in Uganda in 1967. The crew will also be capturing different aspects of the life of the Church in the Diocese of Torit.

I've had the privilege of helping to coordinate the visit of Agniezska, Marcin, Caspar, Bartek and Wojtek, and even to collaborate a bit with the filming. We are eagerly looking forward to viewing the final product of their efforts here in the region.
