Details of Event

Join us for the first YAP event of the year, featuring a screening of "The Stinking Ship," a film by filmmaker and journalist Bagassi Koura.

The Stinking Ship is a groundbreaking documentary that chronicles the humanitarian catastrophe that occurred after a Swiss-based oil and commodity shipping company unloaded its cargo of toxic waste in the middle of the largest city in Ivory Coast, causing one of the worst environmental crises of the last decade.

A Q&A with Bagassi Koura, a graduate of the University of California Berkeley School of Journalism, will follow the film. He has worked as a correspondent in Africa, Europe and the United States, covering international news items for major global media networks.
