In this episode of the
Call Time Podcast, Chris sits down with Amina Mohamed, filmmaker and co-founder of Cameras for Girls, a groundbreaking nonprofit transforming the film industry by empowering young women in Uganda through education, mentorship, and hands-on filmmaking experience.
Amina Mohamed shares her journey from discovering storytelling to building a globally recognized initiative that is redefining who gets to hold the camera—and whose stories are told. Through Cameras for Girls, she is creating access, opportunity, and representation for women in a traditionally male-dominated field, equipping the next generation of filmmakers with the tools and confidence to tell their own narratives. In this intimate and unscripted conversation, Chris draws out the personal and professional layers of Amina’s work—exploring the challenges of launching a nonprofit, navigating the global film industry, and advocating for gender equity in storytelling. The discussion also dives into the transformative power of visual storytelling, the importance of mentorship, and how grassroots initiatives can create lasting cultural impact.
This episode of Call Time offers a rare and inspiring look at how one woman’s vision is reshaping the future of film—not just in Uganda, but around the world.
Whether you’re a filmmaker, artist, storyteller, or simply passionate about women’s voices being heard, this conversation will leave you inspired by the power of creativity, resilience, and purpose-driven storytelling.
