The Great Green Wall
Documentary91 min
Singer and activist Inna Modja guides a journey across Africa following the Great Green Wall, an ambitious effort to grow a band of trees across the continent in response to drought, desertification and climate change. Moving through communities affected by those pressures, the film links the project’s scale to questions of resource scarcity, conflict and migration. Music runs alongside the landscape and testimony, with Songhoy Blues and Didier Awadi among the artists who appear as the route stretches across national borders.
