13 June - Gender - Sonke's film premieres at Encounters Film Festival tonight
On Sakhisizwe today, we spoke to Dean Peacock - Co-founder and executive director of Sonke Gender Justice
Network. He was speaking to us about the 55 minute documentary film “Can't Just Fold Your Arms- a year in the
life of the Network's quest to transform men in post-Apartheid South Africa” by William Nessen. Dean is also the
executive producer of the film. It will premiere tonight at
the 14th Encounters Film Festival, the country’s most prestigiouss documentary film festival. The film is an inspiring
story of moral commitment, a striking portrait of South Africa , and a necessary
warts-and-all how-to look at the reality of ‘engaging’ men against HIV and for
women’s rights and gender transformation. For further information you can contact
