The Seven Days Director's Tour finished yesterday, completing a trek around Australia screening the documentary in Adelaide, Hobart, Melbourne, Sydney and Brisbane.

The film was extremely well received at each screening. A lot of money was donated to the Orphans and Vulnerable Children's Project in Zambia, either as cash or through purchasing the DVD. As a director, it's very rewarding to see people grab handfuls of the DVD to give to relatives for Christmas. There was always a bunch of people who said they had felt called to aid work for some time and watching the film convinced them to finally take steps to making it happen. One screening was even followed by an impromptu prayer session, where all those in attendance prayed for Africa and the community of Mwandi.

Overall, the film was seen by over 250 people and raised over $1500 for the OVC.

The DVD is now available. To order online, go to: http://www.astounded.tv/store/shopexd.asp?id=88
