Brownstones To Red Dirt
by Souraya Ahamada
"The kids in Brooklyn hear about Africa and dream of
elephants and giraffes but the letter from their pen pals in
Sierra Leone told them of nightmarish tragedy and loss.
"Brownstones to Red Dirt is the story of children who
think they have nothing in common but with a pen and paper manage
to dispel their naiveté while fostering their compassion
as they grow into young adults."
It is with these words that the new documentary on which Dave
LaMattina, Chad Walker and Clay Frost are working, is introduced
on Copper Pot
Pictures' website. Dave is the producer/director; Chad,
the producer, editor and cinematographer, and Clay, the associate
producer and still photographer.
