Dear Colleagues, DER's newest film THE CHAIRMAN AND THE LIONS<http://www.der.org/films/chairman-and-the-lions.html> won First Prize at this year's ETNOFilm and will be the perfect addition to a wide array of African Studies, Anthropology, or Sociology courses.
As recently as forty years ago, most sections of the Maasai were semi-nomadic and relatively independent of the nation-state. However, political, social and economic changes in East Africa have forced many herders to adopt a sedentary lifestyle. Chairman Frank Ikoyo, the Maasai leader of a Tanzanian village, battles many lions that threaten his community: 'bush' lawyers, land grabbers, migration, and lack of education. This film provides a glimpse into the current world of Maasai. There's no better time to purchase this or any of our 2012-2013 New Releases than now -- order before June 30th and receive 15% off!

VIDEOLIB is intended to encourage the broad and lively discussion of issues relating to the selection, evaluation, acquisition,bibliographic control, preservation, and use of current and evolving video formats in libraries and related institutions. It is hoped that the list will serve as an effective working tool for video librarians, as well as a channel of communication between libraries,educational institutions, and video producers and distributors.
