Med Hondo: The Multifaceted Talent
Med Hondo is a prominent member of the Federation Panafricain des Cineastes (FESPACO), Comite Africain des Cineastes (CAC), and the West African Film Corporation, in which he has done much to promote African Cinema, particularly the production and international distribution of African films. Hondo brings a rare point of view to these organizations as one of the few African directors who works solely outside of Africa.
