I am really please to annouce that I have been awared a development grant by the Commonwealth Brodcasting Assocation CBA, as part of the DIFD funded CBA Media Development Scheme for my new film project "Death of the NIle?" documentary film project.
The CBA DFID funding is aimed at journalists and filmmakers develop projects and programming
focusing on development issues in Commonwealth countries and in these tough econmic times, with TV and media budgets being cut, the scheme is more important than ever in helping to produce films that raise awareness on develpoment issues. You can read more about the CBA Media Development Scheme here:

The funding means that I have been able to do further research and development work on the film project and also fund a trip to Uganda for several days shooting. We'll also be shooting several key interviews in the UK and to day I am in Aberystwyth in Wales to interview Dr Henry Lamb about his current project work on Lake Tana in Ethiopia.
We plan to post regular updates on this blog about the film project and the forth coming trips.
More later!
