Across Africa

Emmy Award-winning Nigerian director Joel Katchi Benson is Georja Calvin-Smith's guest this week. He is still journeying alongside the families marked by the horrifying abduction of their daughters 12 years ago. The violation has faded from international headlines, but Benson has kept the community in his spotlight. He speaks of the dignity offered by African-crafted documentaries. "Mothers of Chibok" appreciates its subjects’ determination to be role models for their remaining children.
