U.S. Cable company - Travel Channel and the Africa Society of the National Summit on Africa have launched a new and exciting documentary film on Senegal under the Presidential Tour label. The film "Senegal: The Presidential Tour," hosted by former New York Giants player Tiki Barber, is the fourth feature of an African nation since the franchise was launched nearly a decade ago. It profiles all sectors of Senegalese life including education, religion, health, culture, tourism and sports. The highlight of the film is a newly constructed African Renaissance Statue, the biggest in the world.
Prior to the screening which took place in the Preston Hall at the World Bank headquaters, Senegal's President Abodoulaye WADE, World Bank Vice President for Africa Region, Oby Ezekwesili, Africa Society President, Bernadette Paolo and New Jersey Congressman Donald Payne took their turns to address the audience of about 300 people who came from the development, diplomatic, non profit, civil society and Diaspora communities.
Travel Channel which is available in 95million U.S. households will first air the film at 7pm on Monday April 5, 2010. Other African nations that have been profiled so far are Uganda (2003), Ghana (2005) and Botswana (2008).
