Robert David quit a career in the high-flying world of advertising in London to go and teach in a back-street, community film school in Addis Ababa. Lights, Camera, Jemuru is the remarkable story of the young Ethiopian film-makers of Gem TV, and how their films are transforming lives all over Ethiopia. It's also a vibrant portrait of Ethiopia; a land of biblical history, diverse ethnic peoples, staggering natural beauty and deep-rooted culture. Sometimes sad, often funny and always moving, Lights, Camera, Jemuru banishes the heart of darkness image of Africa and shows what young people all over the developing world can achieve if given the chance. And for the millions of people all over the world who watched Live Aid and wandered whatever happened to Ethiopia, it's a fascinating answer.
