In their effort to provide credible promotion to activities that constitute change and development, Hansel Media, Cameroon’s leading online promotion company is set to release the award winning short film, “DAMARU” on its online platforms.
Lovers of Cameroonian cinema will be thrilled to discover why this movie has been in the limelight and benefit from its thought-provoking message. This movie, shot in the Tole locality in Buea, Cameroon, centers around Damaru, a young deaf girl who receives a cold shoulder from her society and must battle obstacles in order to get enrolled in a special education program.
The movie was done to create awareness on the issue of stigmatization towards the handicapped, using deafness as an example. The trailer was released online on 22 August 2014 on the studio's blog and site and a Facebook page for the short film has also been created. It is the studio's aim to publicize this short film so as to amass support for the campaign.
