FOLLOW THE ZEBRA - a film about mining and miners in Tanzania - will be shown in Dolby Laboratories' prestigious screening room at 7PM on July 23rd. Tickets are free of charge!

I got to see this last night, and was thrilled with it. Vincent Pardieu and Richard Hughes lead a team of gemologists, but the focus is always on the miners themselves.

— at 100 Potrero Ave San Francisco, CA, United States.

Here's the trailer

Lisa has secured permission to show FOLLOW THE ZEBRA at this year’s USFG-Franklin Faceters Frolic - FFF7. Lisa will introduce the film Friday evening July 25 at 5:00; just prior to the Faceters Meet and Pretty Stone Contest. The movie runs about one hour and there will be a short Q&A afterwards

FOLLOW THE ZEBRA

Filmmaker Philippe Brunot leads us to the heart of Tanzania to unveil the secluded profession of the gem miner. By following of a clan of intrepid explorers, led by renowned gemologist Vincent Pardieu, Philippe Brunot succeeds in traveling to remote mining camps to reveal their precious depths. This film documents the tremendous will of miners who risk their lives uncovering rare gems several hundred meters underground.

THANKS Lisa!
