My programming colleague Cameron Bailey has started making regular posts to the South Facing Blog, bringing his wealth of knowledge about filmmaking in the world's hotter regions. In a recent entry, he writes about the cluster of documentaries on Africa at this year's Festival. Besides the films he highlights, the Real to Reel programme is also presenting The Dictator Hunter, a gripping doc about Human Rights Watch lawyer Reed Brody (pictured) and his legal pursuit of Hissene Habre, the former dicator of Chad. The film plays out almost like a fictional drama, as Brody weaves international politics on his quest. Hollywood agents take note as you scout for docs ripe for adaptation.
