The East African Center is Proud to Present:

THINK SMALL
Featuring a film screening of the inspirational and award winning documentary "A Small Act" directed by Jennifer Arnold

...When Hilde Back sponsored a young, rural Kenyan student, she thought nothing of it. She certainly never expected to hear from him, but years later she does. Now a Harvard graduate and a Human Rights Lawyer for the United Nations, Chris Mburu decides to find the stranger that changed his life. Inspired by her generosity, he starts a scholarship program of his own and names it for his former benefactor.

Using a strong narrative, the film interweaves seemingly separate lives into a cohesive whole. With clarity and grace, A SMALL ACT, bears witness to the ripple effect a single action can create.

Official selection for 2010 Sundance, Los Angeles, and Edinburgh Film Festivals.
