February 27: Democracy in Dakar Screens in the Black History Month Film Program at Lafayette College, PA

MTM8 filmmakers Ben Herson and Magee McIlvaine, as well as their producer Chris Moore, will attend a symposium focusing on their most recent film Democracy in Dakar. The film screening will be followed by a panel with the filmmakers and Moussa Sall, a Senegalese rapper featured in the film. Herson and McIlaine won the MTM8 Roots & Rhymes Award for their film African Underground: Hip Hop in Senegal, which inspired them to start Nomadic Wax – the successful Hip Hop record label and film/events production company.
