IN CONVERSATION
IMTIAZ SOOLIMAN
Imtiaz Sooliman, founder of the humanitarian aid organisation Gift of the Givers, talks to filmmaker Adrian Steirn during a portrait sitting about his work in the world's disaster zones; his view that, regardless of race, religion or geography, humankind is one nation; and the notion that South Africa may be one of the only countries to have embraced this fact.
