Idriss's dreams for film makers in #SierraLeone
https://t.co/MNR0gA8omd

Rest in peace and power, dear Idriss

[Opin Yu Yi @OpinYuYi]

We're devastated at the loss of our co-founder, Idriss Kpange. 10 years ago, we started our film festival. Idriss pioneered our community outreach sessions and mobile cinema. He was passionate about telling Sierra Leonean stories & teaching the next generation of film makers.
