Download a free PDF of the Fambul Tok Educational Guide
The Fambul Tok Educational Guide was developed for teachers to help integrate the film’s lessons of forgiveness, reconciliation and community into their curricula and classrooms. This workbook includes background material introducing students to Sierra Leonean history and culture, as well as lesson plans and worksheets to be used for classroom activities. The guide is designed to be used in conjunction with the 52-minute educational version of the Fambul Tok film, available through Documentary Educational Resources.
We have created both educator/facilitator and student workbooks, including a version adapted for specific use in Sierra Leone.

This new version, Fambul Tok: Forgiving Savage, integrates material from the film’s epilogue featuring the return and apology of notorious former rebel commander Mohammed Savage.
