D.E.F. Profiles - See who has inspired Russell Simmons - Nelson Mandela and the spirit of resistance.

While in South Africa and Botswana documenting Russell Simmons' fact-finding mission in autumn 2006, award-winning film-maker Selwyn Hinds and his team met several young Africans with compelling real-life stories to tell. The D.E.F. Profiles series of six short video clips focus on their perspectives combined with Russell's experience as a first-time visitor to Africa. The D.E.F. Profiles follow the video, Journey: Russell Simmons in Southern Africa.
