Camerapix, “Mo and Me”

I caught the wonderful 2006 “Moe and Me” documentary on BBC last night. It was a wonderful way to start off the new year and speaks to my calling to effectively create change in people’s lives by using our unique and innate talents.

Founded by the late Mohamed Amin in 1963, Camerapix is the largest documentary, publishing and film companies on the continent of Africa. “Mo and Me” chronicles the life of the founder, who is credited with pushing the 1980s Ethiopian famine onto the world stage, which ultimately led to the creation of “Live Aid” and international support from the artistic community, followed by the global support of people like you and me.

Based in Nairobi, Camera supplies footage to CNN, ABC and many Ad/PR firms. It is known to have one of the largest archives with historical footage and video chronicling the beauty and strife as Africa mobilizes it’s resources to reclaim it’s rightful place as “the” first-world continent.
