Africa Investment Horizons
New film shows enormous investment
opportunities where least expected

WHAT: The world premiere of “AFRICA INVESTMENT HORIZONS,” a new documentary that shows the tremendous gains being made in Africa’s vibrant emerging markets and proves one surprising fact – that the highest rate of return on direct investment is found on the continent most people think of as an economic wasteland.

This one-hour documentary, produced by Carol Pineau, director and producer of the award-winning documentary, Africa Open for Business, shows that Africa may be the next untapped investment destination.

With the current U.S. economic downturn, investors are looking for new markets. Yet few know that Africa boasts more than 20 stock exchanges, some of the fastest growing economies, and the highest rate of return on direct investment in the world. Big investors have been investing in Africa for more than a decade, but most have kept quiet about the astonishing returns – until now.

WHO: Carol Pineau, director and producer of the award-winning documentary, Africa Open for Business, voted BBC “Documentary of the Year” in 2006.
