A. Current affair that matter to you. Hello and welcome to rewind and maria over the last 10 or so years here at aljazeera english weve built up an Incredible Library of Award Winning documentaries and on rewind were taking another look at some of the best of them and seeing whats happened in the years since they were 1st shown this week were going back to 2012 and a remarkable film from africas oldest republic the west african country of liberia and its capital monrovia where less than half the population can read and write and 64 percent live below the poverty line so with many of those people cut off from normal news sources one man decided to tackle the problem using just a bit of chalk and a large blackboard called the daily talk blackboard lists all the latest news in a simple language used by monrovias disadvantaged poor from the witness series in 2012 here is free press. Hello. Hello. What were doing is like this our responsibility its a measurable get the news to you. Then to measure the information only from those who. Tell you in a receiver thats our job. Just leave and i am the fun and creator executive director and managing editor of the day to talk. To create and use people that will be on the street and everybody have access to crazy people just believe that this contains will never come into reality. But. Thats the kind of present our facility is. I believe that people should be informed of what is happening. The leaders of the war really didnt want to root harsh. It is this war that prompted the creation of the data i saw to meet people who knew wanting to be reform but there was there was no means of getting information soon the idea of the book came to me to deal talk news put that in the chalkboard news people and some to begin to click to music you can start it was just like. Starring. As source or refract to be on the scene in town on one operation by something and so silent that when you are after you lesson. It makes sense you had to. Get out more i want her to want to fight for news 8. Every time i walk along the avenue i usually make a stab like 10 or 15 minutes in a reader there and know what is going on a rom in the city what is happening my country and around the continent. When the war was coming to the country people were forced to take you and they give you gone and the rich life to see you who are 5 you know. It happened to me. But i used to use 7 presses to. Take it for the 7 ball and the whole country where i was so i was compared to do it for my latin. As like you take a call and go to hunt for animal in the forest and to take you and you hunting one another. Man in time of france friend of mine got one. Less loser. And even lose the life. Im an activist this is what i do to make a living. I use a bullet implication to create strong. Our ideas our transformation from war to peace. This is how we make you.
