[RPCV news] Documentary produced by Guinea RPCV on Liberia's government to be shown in NYC this week

Director and Guinea RPCV Micah Schaffer reports the following:

Dear Friends and Colleagues,

This week there will be three New York screenings of
“Iron Ladies of Liberia,” a PBS/BBC documentary that I
co-produced.

Monday, December 3rd at 6pm at Teachers College,
Columbia University located at 525 West 120th St.

Tuesday, December 4th at 6:30pm at Anthology Film
Archives located at 32 Second Ave. and 2nd and

Thursday, December 6th at 1:50pm at Clearview 62nd
Street at 62nd Street & Broadway St. in Manhattan.

“Iron Ladies of Liberia” follows the first year in
office of Ellen Johnson-Sirleaf, Africa’s first female
president.

Hailed as the most positive story to come out of
Africa since the end of apartheid, Ellen and her
powerful team of female ministers give a glimpse of
what can happen when women lead.

Our production team gained an unprecedented degree of
access to this remarkable woman at a remarkable period
in history.
