In 2025, United Team Sierra Leone (U Team SL) produced a groundbreaking documentary that brings to light the complex realities of Pujehun District, located in Southern Sierra Leone. With a population of over 400,000, the district continues to face challenges across health, education, agriculture, and economic development. Link: https://youtu.be/Rk66_DRa9-E

The film explores pressing issues such as inadequate numbers of trained teachers and health workers, persistent unemployment among youth and women, political divisions, and poor infrastructure including road networks and limited skills training opportunities. It also highlights the struggle for food security and sustainability, the impact of cross-border trade with Liberia where currency disparities undermine local revenue mobilization, and the lack of access to financial inclusion for women and youth at all levels of development.

Beyond these structural challenges, the documentary bravely addresses social concerns such as teenage pregnancy and child marriage, which continue to affect the future of young people in the district.

At its core, U Team SL’s vision is clear: to harness the potential of Pujehun District to enhance peace, unity, development, and sustainability across all sector of development. Through powerful storytelling and authentic community voices, the documentary not only exposes the hardships but also celebrates the resilience and determination of the people. This documentary sets the stage for a picture that is both a mirror of current realities and a call to action for collective progress.
