NSSM 200 - Apocalypse Africa: Made in America

Social Consciousness

I wanted to share my experience and my efforts just to bring awareness to a cause and just maybe motivate some action that may help someone, someday.


On Saturday, May 17, 2008 I was fortunate enough to view a screening of Apocalypse Africa: Made in America from Emmy Award winning journalist, Del Walters, of 3PE Productions

Here is some information regarding the film from 3PE’s website:

NSSM (original title), the groundbreaking documentary about Africa premiered at the Cannes Film Festival to standing room only crowds. The documentary, which explores the root causes behind Africa’s collapse, was hailed as “Africa’s Schindler’s List.”

Please take a moment to view a clip from the documentary:

I immediately wanted to do any and everything to not only change Africa, but to also spread the word and assist this great effort of awareness. But unlike other social documentaries, such as All Gore’s An Inconvenient Truth or Michael Moore’s Fahrenheit 9/11, this film has not had the major distributors rushing to pick it up. So here I start, with this simply email, simply posting.


If you think your school, organization, church, synagogue, mosque, book club, business or corporation would be interested in viewing the documentary with producer, director and narrator, Del Walters and have an open discussion about solutions, please contact me:

admin@simplybeautifulconcepts.com

If you would like a copy of the documentary for personal use, please contact me as well and I can obtain a DVD for you.

If you are interested in what you can do to help the plight of Africa, contact Del Walters at del@3peweb.com or use one of the steps below:

  • Write your local and national congressman or woman to demand the Federal Government renounce NSSM-200
  • Forward this message to your friends, family and associates
  • Start an online petition or discussion group

Thank you for taking the time to listen and be conscious. Be sheer determination and caring, American Citizens were largely responsible for ending Apartheid in South Africa…let’s end this too.

Peace Letetia
