News that a Seattle film crew were 'losts' and out of contact, has been encouraging with stories today that contact has been made. (Sandy Cioffi, fulltime faculty at Seattle Central Community Colleges currently on sabatical, is the independent project's director.)
This Seattle Times article fills in alot of the unknowns, but more questions remain... about the documentary film project, "Sweet Crude", the nature of live, politics, and government in Nigeria.
Looking deeper still, it is inherent upon the citizenery (us) to consider the international policies of our national government, our leading global corporations, and their impact on the lives of others, realizing that ultimately the impact falls on us.
Do you believe we should follow our own philosophies abroad? How about our own laws - of environment, workers and peoples rights?
Resources (courtesy of the Seattle Times): the archive story; the film's website was in a 'hold' mode as of 3 pm Tuesday. Producer Tammi Simms, and crew members Cliff Worsham, Sean Porter, along with Joel Bisina, a peace mediator and founder of Niger Delta Professionals for Development in Warri.
