American University in Cairo opened in 1919.  This month, Pittsburgh's Carnegie Mellon University is opening a campus in Kigali, Rwanda.  CEIBS (China Europe International Business School) has an MBA program in Accra, Ghana that recently opened.  In What are we doing here?, we filmed with missionaries in Malawi from the African Bible Colleges, who recently opened their third campus in Uganda.  Is this the beginning of the rise of Western (and Eastern) higher education in Africa?  What will this mean for Africans?  Check out this interesting NY Times article by D.D. Guttenplan: Local Options Help Slow Africa's Brain Drain.

What are we doing here? is honored to be part of the Culture Unplugged online film festival.  On October 30th, WAWDH? will stream four times (part of a continus loop of the days programing), so click here to watch on the 30th.  Culture Unplugged is an amazing non-commercial media organization; to learn more about them or to see what unique and eye opening documentaries are playing right now, right here on your computer, click here!
