An interview with the director Mari Bakke Riise and the complete 32 minute film
All the films that were nominated this year for an Academy Award in the Documentary Shorts category (episode 3 below) are well deserving and should be seen. One film that was seen as a favorite by most who saw it was "Kayayo." It tells the heart breaking story of a very young girl in Ghana who is used as a human shopping basket by other women in a town not close to her village.
I was so confident that this short listed film would be nominated that I asked the director to be on Episode 3 live if she got the nod. And when she told me that she expected to be on national television in Norway and couldn't make our show, I pre-recorded an interview with her to put on the episode in anticipation of the nomination she did not receive.
Here is that short interview recorded before the nominations with the director Mari Bakke Riise and instead of a two minute clip, I have been given permission to run the entire film. Your friends can watch it here, or pay a very small rental fee at Vimeo on Demand at https://vimeo.com/ondemand/kayayo
