African doccie screened at international science festival

The screening is part of the Edinburgh International Science Festival. The documentary is based on Thebe Medupe who built his first telescope in a remote African village. As an astrophysicist, he journeys across Africa. Thebe's journey leads from the ancestral land of Namibia's hunter gatherers to ancient villages in Mali, and north to the Sahara night sky.

Tickets are available from the Filmhouse.
