The documentary film “Zoom Zoom -The Professor”, covering the historical career & rise of a young man from the boisterously tough quaint fishing town of Bukom, located in Ghana’s capital of Accra, has been chosen to be part of National Geographic’s “2011 Women Hold Up Half The Sky Series” featuring films by trailblazing female filmmakers. Zum Zum: The Career of Azumah Nelson, the educational/festival title to the documentary will be screened on April 2, 2011 at the National Geographic Headquarters in Washington, DC, to educate the world about the life of Azumah Nelson beyond boxing.
Azumah Nelson holds his title of “The Professor” to heart, as he has made it his life’s mission to educate the children of the black star nation of Ghana, West Africa. The documentary project started as a piece to help bring awareness to the Azumah Nelson Foundation in conjunction with his children’s book to raise 23 million dollars(USD) to build an educational sports complex for underprivileged children in Akuse, Ghana.
“I hope this leads to distribution for him and foundation in the near future, but this being for such an honorable non-profit cause, I hope it gets a chance to circulate around, hopefully in the festival circuit as well. I hope people who normally wouldn’t consider watching a boxing story of a young man from a little coastal African nation who believed his destiny was to become a King amongst Kings fulfilling his destiny beyond anyone’s expectations as he rose amongst the greatest, would get the opportunity to do so. Hopefully getting a chance to meet the living Legend himself too.”
