OD
South Sudanese musician OD wrote a song “A Girl from Juba” and produced a music video in honor of Viola in The Good Braider. This week he and film maker Fred Ben launched the video. Thank you OD and the cast of this original, wonderful creation.
Soon I’ll post photos of the cast and tell the story of this video. It’s set in the streets and neighborhoods of Portland with flashback scenes to Juba and Cairo.

Just finished reading the book. The video captures the mood of the book – the poetry – the song – the sounds of Africa – so beautifully! Bravo to all involved!
