DVD Bonus Features
Two years later
This 9 minute short revisits the scene of the clashes and the reconciliation depicted in An African Answer - two years after the film was shot. It goes on to follow three Kenyan peace activists as they take An African Answer to remote communities prone to conflict over scarce resources.
Inside the process
This 20 minute interview with Imam Muhammad Ashafa and Pastor James Wuye probes the 'how' and the 'why' of the peace-building processes depicted in An African Answer. The interview, filmed in a London television studio, is conducted by American conflict resolution lecturer Dr Margaret Smith and Palestinian film-maker Dr Imad Karam.
The new DVD of An African Answer will also contain French and German language versions of the film.

Illustrated with photographs from North Sudan, South Sudan, Nigeria, Kenya and Lebanon, the booklet contains gems of advice from Pastor James Wuye and Imam Muhammad Ashafa on some of the key stages in successful peace-building.
