The Thinking Garden: Film launch
add to outlook add to google calendar remind me
Free public screening and launch of 'The Thinking Garden,' a documentary film about South African women sowing the seeds of change. 37 min. Q&A with filmmakers following. Three generations of women created a community garden in the dying days of apartheid. They called it “the thinking garden” – hleketani – a place where women gather to think about how to effect change. Twenty-five years later the garden is still going strong, helping to confront the ravages of climate change, poverty and HIV/AIDS.
Beautifully filmed against the backdrop of an epic drought now gripping southern Africa, The Thinking Garden tells the inspiring story of what can happen when older women take matters into their own hands and how local action in food production can give the most vulnerable people a measure of control over their food and their future. xiTsonga with English subtitles.
