AMERICAN UBUNTU is the brainchild of Lenore Norrgard, a trilingual film artist whose career in media spans radio, international photojournalism, writing, and narrative film. The story grows out of her decades as a leading social activist and healer, and is her response to the tragedies of 9/11 and their aftermath. Lenore is the founder of New Legacy Films.
AMERICAN UBUNTU was awarded an Oregon Literary Fellowship, and was a finalist in the Independent Film Project's Phosphate competition and the Cynosure competition. Lenore also wrote, directed and produced AMERICAN UBUNTU: The Backstory, 1970s, at the Joyce Gordon Gallery in Oakland. She is the writer, director, producer and editor of the feature dramedy, GETTING TO SEX. |
