The significance of this achievement cannot be overstated. By joining forces across continents, Threats and Yelson have transcended geographical boundaries to create a work of art that resonates with audiences around the world. Their film serves as a testament to the power of storytelling to unite us all, regardless of our backgrounds or origins.

Aurora L. Threats, recognized as a Success 2023-24 Woman of Influence, brings her unparalleled vision and leadership to the project, elevating its impact and reach.

As hosts of the red carpet at the African Film Festival, Threats and Yelson are leading the way for future collaborations between the US and Ghana in the realm of cinema and beyond. Their collaboration exemplifies the spirit of mutual respect, understanding, and creativity that lies at the heart of cultural exchange.

But their impact extends far beyond the silver screen. By bringing together talent not just from both countries, but from around the world, the African Film Festival is fostering connections and a sense of solidarity that transcends borders. It is a reminder that, despite our differences, we are all part of a global community with a shared humanity.

As we look ahead to the African Film Festival in Dallas, let us celebrate not only the films themselves but also the spirit of collaboration and camaraderie that defines this historic event. With Threats and Yelson taking the lead on the red carpet, we are witnessing the dawn of a new era in cinema—one marked by unity, creativity, and the boundless possibilities of cross-cultural exchange.
