Documentary filmmaker Steven Ross will tour the Southern Circuit from March 4th - 12th with his films Liberia: A Fragile Peace and Fishers of Dar.
Liberia: A Fragile Peace explores the civil war between many warring factions with civilians caught in the crossfire and the peace that followed.
Rakumi Arts International writes, “Fishers of Dar is a visually lush documentary without commentary. The film takes the viewer, beginning before dawn, to the pier and the bustling central market, as hundreds of people make their living in this age-old way.”Earlier this month, we spoke with Steven about these amazing films and his experiences in making them.

Steve, Your blog sounds like you are having a fine time and showing some great work that needs to be out there. Hurrah for the Southern Circuit and to Susan Leonard who went to school in Athens, OH. She has managed to keep a wonderful dream alive and refined from the sounds of your blog/trip. After all the hard work SR has put in during this school year, not to mention finishing the film, it is time for the icing on the cake. Sounds like a great trip with a small taste of Springtime. Congratulations! —jack wright
