   "Sweet Salone", serves as a refreshing view of West Africa, that audiences have been unable to receive until now. Recent media attention to West Africa and Sierra Leone has been increasingly common, but little of this content has done much to show audiences the current situation for people in the country.

   "Sweet Salone", is a positive and uplifting view of an African nation that is recovering from war through the combined efforts of its younger generation.

   The war has been over for more than five years and the country is changing. You will not find images of atrocities, death, violence, and brutality in this film. Such images have become too common in films about Sierra Leone and do nothing to help the lives of the people that continue to live and work there. "Sweet Salone" finally introduces international audiences to what is great about Sierra Leone.

   The world came late to the war, and is now arriving late again to the new sense of optimism and productivity that has been growing here. Negative images of West Africa repel tourism and only serve to maintain an unhealthy stigma.

   Too often violence, blood, and corruption are the only stories we see out of this part of the world. "Sweet Salone" is alone in its postive and peaceful view into the lives of these young Africans, and will reintroduce the rest of the world to the new Sierra Leone.
