The Union of Journalists of South Sudan (UJOSS), the Reconstituted Joint Monitoring and Evaluation Committee (RJMEC), and UNDP are conducting a two-day workshop for over 20 journalists on reporting about chapter 5 of the peace agreement.
A harrowing documentary that serves both as a story of personal survival and an extended history lesson about the world's newest independent country, South Sudan. "The Elephants and the Grass" capably manages to compress the decades of civil war, upheaval, and petty politics that have roiled the region since the '50s under the joint rule of Egypt and Britain, before becoming sovereign in July 2011, into a nightmarish vision of the systemic failures of its would-be leaders amid a backdrop of equal parts monstrous cruelty and breathtaking courage.
