The MV Liemba is once again serving as a lifeline for people fleeing violence. The United Nations has recently commissioned the vessel to help rescue refugees from the unrest in Burundi and ferry them to Tanzania. It is indeed amazing that this former warship is now serving this purpose one hundred years after her launch. But while it is truly a heroic mission, it does leave thousands of others stranded with out the ship that they depend on for so much.
The bottom line is, Lake Tanganyika needs another large vessel in order to satisfy the needs of the people living there. Preferably one from this millennium.
Welcome to Breadbox Production's blog for the award winning documentary Liemba. We will be posting all the latest news on festivals and screenings here. You can also check out our website for more scoops on the project at www.liemba.org.
