Exclusive SAZ Screening for CGI Members in Haiti
In the early months of 2010 Sinema Anba Zetwal made its way along the earthquake fault line, bringing education through state of the art screenings, multimedia and performance arts to the Haitian community.
The Clinton Global Initiative (CGI) took notice and The Green Family Foundation hosted a special screening for CGI members at the Kinam Hotel Place St. Pierre in Petionville. The Fastforward, the producers of Sinema Anba Zetwal, acted quickly and developed a special program to enlighten CGI members as to SAZ's goals and its importance to Haiti.
On June 23, 2010, nearly 100 attendees, many of them CGI members, enjoyed excerpts of the Sinema Anba Zetwal Food for Souls Tour. Participants included members of the Ministry of Culture, U.N Office of the Special Envoy, UNOPS and representatives from various sectors, including international philanthropy, commerce and Government.
