Media personality and founder of Legally Clueless Africa Adelle Onyango has been selected as a jury member for the World Health Organization’s film festival, 'Health For All Film Festival'.

Alongside Golden Globe and EMMY award winner Sharon Stone and Dr. Socé Fall from Senegal, Onyango will judge the Universal Health Coverage category.

The Health For All Film Festival aims to connect people who join the health promotion movement through films. Audio-visual language is one of the key elements of WHO’s 'Communicating for health impact' approach.

Well-produced and well-targeted short films can improve the health status of some groups, encouraging behavior change or providing knowledge, motivation, or skills needed for people to take action.

It’s incredible to join her as a jury member in a festival that recognizes the power of storytelling to change the world. .

"This is a premise I believe in and is the foundation on which I’ve built Legally Clueless Africa. I look forward to viewing how global health concerns are brought forward through film," she noted.
