ABOUT
Background Purple Field Productions (PFP) http://bit.ly/1HRFNS1 is a small, innovative charity with fourteen years’ experience of working together with people in Africa and Asia in order to produce and distribute educational films in local languages. The Swahili film ‘Lisilojulikana’ was made by PFP in Kenya in 2016 with aim of combating the fear and superstition surrounding children with cerebral palsy, and of thus improving the quality of life not only of the children concerned, but also of their families. The film has had an enormous impact in its country of origin where, with the use of a solar powered mobile cinema, it has now been shown at over 300 community screenings, reached over 30,000 people, and brought support and hope to an enormous number of those affected. In 2017, ‘Lisilojulikana’ won the World CP Day Award for Public Awareness. PFP have now been asked to bring the film to Tanzania, and the project has the support a network of local NGOs based right across the country.

The Aim of the Tanzania Lisilojulikana Distribution Programme is to take the film ‘Lisilojulikana’ across Tanzania and use it effectively as a tool for purposes of increasing awareness around issues concerning cerebral palsy and around disability in general. The LSDM will be required to travel around the country, (by public transport), screening ‘Lisilojulikana’ in local communities by means of a mobile solar-powered backpack cinema kit, (supplied by PFP), and thus to bring about an increased understanding of cerebral palsy to as many people as possible. The aim is to reach a total audience of at least 10,000 per annum, and screenings will need to be well-planned in advance to ensure they are in areas where they are most effective. Furthermore, in order to ensure the greatest understanding amongst the audience and best outcomes for those affected, all screenings will be followed by a facilitated discussion amongst the audience. This discussion will be led by LSDM with the particular aim of addressing stigma and developing support for any disabled people living within the community concerned.
