In 2013 I had the opportunity to travel Tanzania.  While there, I met a local artist named Amen Ntangu.  He is self-employed as a batik printmaker.  His artwork is beautiful, but what inspired me even more is his story and message for those facing unemployment in his country.  I had the opportunity to interview him and create a short film on his work, and most importantly, why he does it.
