hello and welcome to rewind i'm come all sons of maria over the last 10 or so years here at al-jazeera english we've built up an incredible library all of your winning documentaries and on rewind we're taking another look at some of the best of them and seeing what's happened in the years since they were 1st shown this week we're going back to 2012 and a remarkable film from africa's oldest republic the west african country of liberia and its capital monrovia where less than half the population can read and write and 64 percent live below the poverty line so with many of those people cut off from

normal news sources one man decided to tackle the problem using just a bit of chalk and a large blackboard called the daily talk blackboard lists all the latest news in a simple language used by monrovia's disadvantaged poor from the witness series in 2012 here is alfred's free press. l o. l o. you know what we're doing is like this our responsibility it's a mess over get there by the news or you'll recall we add them to information only from those who are the newsmen so you won't ever see. our job. for just leave and i'm the fun and creator of the executive director and the money they

didn't talk. to create in people that will be on the street and everybody have access to some crazy people or just believe that discrete things will never come into reality. but. that's the kind of president. i believe that people should be informed of what is happening. the legacy of the war really didn't want to. harsh. it is this war that prompted the creation of the digital i saw the meat of people wanting to be reform but there was there was no means of getting information

soon the idea of the book came to me to deal talk news put that in the chalkboard news people and some to begin to click to music you can start it was just like. starring. as source or refract to be on the scene in town wearing operation by something and so silent that when you are after a lesson. it makes sense you had to. get out more i want her to want to fight drug use. 8 every time i walk along the avenue i usually make a stab like 10 or 15 minutes in

a reader there and know what is going on a rom in the city what is happening my country and around the continent. when the war was coming to the country people were forced to take you and they give you gone and the rich life to see you who are 5 you know. it happened to me. but i used to used 7 presses to. take it for the 7 ball and the whole country where i was so i was compared to do it for my life. as like you take gall and go to hell for animal in the forest and to take you and

you hunting one another. man in time of france friend of mine got one. last loser. and even lose your life. i'm an actress this is what i do to make a living. i use the bullet and the case and create stuff. how ideas are transformation from war to peace. this is how we meet here. this is across germany in front of you. ok well all those dreams that i think. one of the problems my mom would have made for some time now is i don't stay with my family.

a whistle which would inform the public about it. with factual information the information. people. report everything that we see how we research it before. this is the news room this is where the news stories is published and it's how it's done you know like i said the newsroom is a junkie so. you look at these things that were printed music books. this is. the decks new sticks and. other stories and this is the story the house and the board i have in the street.

it's hard to work. with your 4 times and and be with your family 100 s. and it's very difficult you have to spend half of the time running out the stories you have to have time to research and all of these things and. from where i come from and look you know where special. story. in the press freedom it was difficult. because what you've published people come after you you know it was a very tough. my shop was broken down it was the mahdi each it broke me because it was. other where i was a dog at the muscle to 19 man family in

a way when it broke i guess that out all was lost i said though i get i get i myself in though. so i must continue to go out there and these also encourage me and i may keep it all so i did that a common stock in you know a friend called me obama used to make an issue that they had about the house so they didn't have better shoes and then i started from. believing in god that we were we had me one day and i always did these i would do what i had timed out or does the b.b.c. all of what we were. past the nut clarke is preaching what we were.
