Washington DC USAID Video Production: Birth of Ethiopia’s NovaStar Garments
2014Time: 03:45IESC
This is the story of Mohammed, who moves back to Ethiopia after 18 years in the U.S. to open a textile factory. The problem is, he doesn’t have much experience, or any buyers. It’s also the story of USAID, whose initial support gives Mohammed just the market exposure he needs to rapidly expand his business. Since 1964, IESC has worked in 130 countries and helped to create or save over 1.5 million jobs. This USAID video was directed, shot, produced, written, and edited by Steve Dorst.
