Doc to Watch




Toronto, Ontario - March 26, 2009 - With the Hot Docs Festival coming up soon, I've been doing my research and the doc on the top of my list so far that I need to see has quite the long title: The Art Star and the Sudanese Twins. This is a story is captured by a New Zealand filmmaker, Pietra Brettkelly. Vanessa Beecroft, a contemporary art world star has no boundries between life and art. Brettkelly follows Beecroft during a 16 month journey to Sudan. Her initial reason was to go to Africa for inspiration in art but soon turned into a bond which deepened her desire to adopt two orphan babies. This film creates awareness and the not easily answerable question: is there a suitable reaction to African Suffering? Watch the trailer to learn more.
