This is Terry’s second feature-length documentary. Her first documentary, Fambul Tok, about a groundbreaking grass-roots forgiveness program in Sierra Leone, had its world premiere at SXSW in March 2011 and is currently on the festival circuit. She won a 2009 Sundance grant for Fambul Tok and was also a fellow at the 2010 IFP Doc Lab. Terry began making documentaries after a long, award-winning career in journalism – first in print, then in public radio, and more recently as a photojournalist.
