Berkeley Journalism Grad Up for Student Academy Award
If Clare Major wins a 2011 Student Academy Award for Best Documentary, she will have the opportunity to thank two most impressive patrons – Bill Gates and his wife Melinda. Feast & Sacrifice, her 26-minute look at the day-to-day life of a family in Senegal, Africa, was funded in part by a grant from the couple’s foundation.
Major served with the Peace Corp in Senegal from 2004 to 2006, later turning those experiences into her graduate thesis film at Berkeley’s Graduate School of Journalism, where she completed her studies in 2010.
