In August, 2002 Dr. Freeman and
Producer/Director Steve Alston traveled to West Africa to collaborate on
a 2nd project tentatively titled African Kings: A Journey
Into the Past, Present and Future of African Kingdoms. Freeman
and Alston were given unprecedented access to many African Kings. The recorded interviews with these Kings that can
only be seen in this upcoming documentary. To be released in the first
half of 2003, this film combines tribal dances and stunning photography
while addressing the past, present and future perspectives of the
African Kingdoms. This project serves as
a sister project to
the soon to be released "Return to Glory" documentary. How can
you help financially to facilitate this remarkable opportunity?
In October 2004 Dr. Freeman was
a keynote speaker for the Association of International Schools of Africa
(AISA). Three conferences were held in Botswana, Kenya and Senegal to
make it easier for member and affiliate school
faculty/administrators/staff to attend. Because of generous donations to
the The Freeman
Institute Foundation, Joel was able to donate a copy of the DVD film to
every international school library in Africa. He returned to the same
conference in 2007.
Renowned artist, Leonard Freeman (see
Links Page to view his web site) was commissioned to provide the painting for the
cover of the insert placed in every video and DVD. We are excited by
Leonard's passion for this project.
