Robert David quit a career in the high-flying world of advertising in London to go and teach in a back-street, community film school in Addis Ababa. Lights, Camera, Jemuru is the remarkable story of the young Ethiopian film-makers of Gem TV, and how their films are transforming lives all over Ethiopia. It’s also a vibrant portrait of Ethiopia; a land of biblical history, diverse ethnic peoples, staggering natural beauty and deep-rooted culture. Sometimes sad, often funny and always moving, Lights, Camera, Jemuru banishes the heart of darkness image of Africa and shows what young people all over the developing world can achieve if given the chance. And for the millions of people all over the world who watched Live Aid and wandered whatever happened to Ethiopia, it’s a fascinating answer.

Robert David quit a high-flying advertising career in London as a writer and director of TV commercials to go and teach in a back-street film school in Addis Ababa. The film school, Gem TV, had taken 12 young people from the poorest parts of the city, and was training them to become Ethiopia's first generation of community film-makers. He spent 7 years living and working in Ethiopia and filming took him and the Gem TV film-makers all over the country. They made films in remote regions and sprawling cities, which addressed all kinds of developing world issues and helped changed peoples' lives all over the country. He also works as a travel journalist and has written for the Times, the Guardian, the Daily Telegraph as well as various travel magazines and websites. Robert David now lives in Brighton in the UK where he runs media communications training workshops, writes and continues to make films in Ethiopia.
