Ayuko Babu and Rigoberto Lopez Prego

Ayuko Babu:

Last September Ayuko Babu was at the annual Congressional Black Caucus Legislative Conference sitting in the audience of a panel discussion about African films.

He unquestionably has such an astute resume that would have qualified him to lead the panel, but on this day Babu was just listening and taking notes and in the room of just roughly a dozen was one of the crowd.

As renowned and revered as Ayuko Babu is, perhaps his greatest human quality is that of humility which is why the 20^th annual Pan African Film Festival has earned a reputation of being among the best in the world.
