The Great Green Wall
Academy Award-nominee Fernando Meirelles (City of God (2002)) and Malian musician Inna Modja take us on an epic journey to the frontline of the climate crisis along Africa's ambitious Great Green Wall. Executive Producer Fernando Meirelles (Academy Award-nominated director of City of God (2002) and The Two Popes (2019)) and Malian musician Inna Modja take us on an epic journey along Africa's Great Green Wall - an ambitious vision to grow an 8,000km "wall" of trees stretching across the entire continent to fight back against runaway climate change, severe resource scarcity and mass migration. —Anonymous Malian singer and activist Inna Modja makes a west to east transcontinental journey through the Sahel in sub-Saharan Africa to promote and find out the status in the various parts of the region of the Great Green Wall, an initiative to plant a wall of trees the entire expanse of the Sahel. That promotion includes musical collaborations with various other African musicians. Outwardly, the initiative is to combat the geographically negative effects of climate change, primarily to protect the Sahel from desertification with the encroachment of the Sahara. But the initiative has many deeper underlying goals to combat that climate change largely resulting in insecurity in many forms, leading to issues such as mass migration, often dangerous, out of Africa, and increasing threats against those already at risk, especially females, at the hands of such groups as Boko Haram, these issues which are highlighted by many of the interviewees. —Huggo
