Kino für Menschenrecht: The Great Green Wall

In the organizer's words:

Unique in our Cinema for Human Rights series - in cooperation with the Amnesty University Group Bonn!
Original version with German subtitles (OmU).

It is one of the most ambitious climate projects in the world: an 8,000-kilometer-long belt of trees is being planted across the African continent to stop the spread of the desert and provide millions of people with food, jobs and a future. Malian singer Inna Modja travels along this still patchy green wall to meet people in Senegal, Mali, Nigeria and Ethiopia. She talks to them about their fears, dreams and hopes in a language that has always defined African culture: music. In a collective melodic collage, the film unravels the soundtrack of the "Great Green Wall".
