CHANNEL A TV members where glad to volunteer their services to SIFF during the 2013 Seattle African Film festival (African Pictures). We helped to link SIFF by identifying African community leaders in the area who in turn helped us create a platform for the local communities  to witness African Film right in the middle of Seattle.
