New Documentary Gives Voice to Solomon Island Women
New Documentary Gives Voice to the Stories of Solomon Islands Women
A new documentary capturing the experiences of Solomon Islands women will premiere on One Television on Sunday 8 April 2012 at 9:30pm.
A five part series,
Mere Blong Iumi, Stori Blong Olketa, records the
extraordinary experiences of Solomon Islands women in recent
history as peacemakers, parliamentarians, business leaders,
educators and homemakers – in their own words and for the
first time.
Mere Blong Iumi features nineteen Solomon
Islands women who share their thoughts, experiences and
aspirations. Their stories reflect the history and progress
of the Solomon Islands, as well as the complex issues still
facing the nation today.
RAMSI’s Special Coordinator
Nicholas Coppel believes the documentary will help capture
an important aspect of Solomon Islands history.
“We
hope Mere Blong Iumi will stand as an important and frank
historical record for future generations. And that it will
serve as an inspiration to the thousands of men and women
who are genuinely interested in working in partnership to
realise the wonderful potential of this nation,” Mr Coppel
said.
Mere Blong Iumi was produced locally by
RAMSI’s Public Affairs Unit.
The documentary will be
aired over five weeks on Sundays on One
Television.
Copies of the DVD can be obtained from
RAMSI’s Public Affairs
Unit.
