Audience Award winner at SXSW, Building Hope chronicles The Nobelity Project's construction of the first high school for a remote African community. The film includes appearances by Kenyan youth counselor Auma Obama, sister of President Barack Obama, and by Cameron Sinclair, founder of Architecture for Humanity.
