Earlier this year, Artwatch Africa, an arm of the pan-continental body, Arterial Network, launched the Ambassadors for Creative Expressions project, aimed at canvassing for freedom of artistic rights and creative expression.
The launch was held through a two-day workshop in Ougadougou, Burkina Faso, in the course of the 24th Pan-African Cinema and Television (FESPACO) 2015, where the audio for Right to Life was recorded.
