Description

In the face of chaos and devastation, a young Somali couple and two Somali families created HornAfrik, the first independent TV and radio station in war-torn Mogodishu. HornAfrik's talk shows are popular because they have become a unique way for thousands of Somalis to speak out without being silenced. This documentary is an example of the media's role in conflict resolution and peace.
