Documentary Screening and Q&A | Stand Together as One
When drought hit Ethiopia in 1983, millions of people were impacted by famine and one million people starved to death.

These images inspired musicians to stand together and led to the recording of the worldly famous song "We Are The World". Documentary screening followed by a Q&A with Salim Amin, film director and son of late Mohamed Amin.
