Wednesday 12th of May; afternoon:It was one of those days where I doubted if I ever would be able to leave this place. The sky was blue in blue and the sun was about to turn my nose into a sun dried tomato. I was sitting in the shadow of a palm tree in a shamba (garden) near Katumba, trying my best to be as invisible as possible. Around me the members of Bongodox were getting ready for shooting; moving chairs, checking lightning and preparing the last questions for their interviews with Mr. Bosco, an HIV affected man. If I didn’t know, I wouldn’t believe that just 3 months ago these people couldn’t tell the difference between zoom, frame and focus. Now they were acting as they had been doing this for years, confidentially and concentrated, working as a team. A team fighting for the future lives of the Tanzanians, and definitely a team I am more than proud to be a member of.
With only one month left to finish our film there is no time to waist. The computer finally seems to cooperate which means that from now on it’s all about editing. Indeed a challenge to kill a lot of darlings since we have footage enough for several documentaries.
