A new TV program airing on 3A Telesud, a Paris, France-based television channel, brings images and sounds illuminating previously untold stories of Africa, its people, its cultures. The weekly, 26-minute show also spotlights the Continent's progress in transitioning from Third World poverty to First World modernism.
The program features poignant and revealing news about Africa and Americans collaborating in bringing new technologies, business opportunities and other positive accomplishments to Africa. The program will air every Thursday and Friday four different times daily, ensuring Prime Time audiences on all three continents.
The first program aired on February 16, 2006 in Africa on Canal Plus, in the United States on the Dish Satellite Network and in Europe on satellite via 3A Telesud. In this first episode, the shows host Julia Wilson spoke with the first democratically elected female president of an African nation - Liberian President Madame Ellen Johnson-Sirleaf – and shared on-the-scene coverage of her 2006 inauguration.
This production underscores the commitment of Julia Wilson and the 3A Telesud team to the African Diaspora worldwide and helps show and share the enthusiasm and passion of Africa by North Americans. Its intention is to bring viewers 'enlightened views of the Dark Continent,' erasing long-held stereotypes, prejudices and presumptions.
