“Brownstones To Red Dirt” is a documentary film about a pen pal program that connects children from Brooklyn, NY housing projects and war orphans living in Freetown, Sierra Leone.

The children start with no knowledge of what their pen pals’ lives are like. But soon, stereotyped images of African plains full of zebras and lions and American mansions are replaced with the realities of life in each place.
