INSIDE STORY has been a hit across Africa and is now the most widely seen film ever on the continent. From military officials in Angola to students in Botswana to theaters in Nigeria (and even as far as the Philippines) audiences are on their feet and cheering.
This fall, Aric Noboa, President and Executive Producer for Discovery Learning Alliance, was invited to discuss INSIDE STORY’s success and impact on two panels:

DISCOP Africa is Africa’s highest regarded and only international Film, TV content, adaptation rights and packaged channel market. Aric was invited to participate on the panel / discussion , ‘Closing Skill Gaps with Television “:
Two decades of educational programming in South Africa will serve as a backdrop in an attempt to predict the future role of instructional and pro-social television.
