Der Junge, der den Wind einfing(2019)

4,0/5 (bei 699 Stimmen)

Williams Vater Trywell (Chiwetel Ejiofor) hatte einst nicht die Möglichkeit, die weiterführende Schule in seinem malawischen Heimatdorf zu besuchen – sein 14-jähriger Sohn William (Maxwell Simba) soll es besser haben. Auch er mag zwar nicht auf die wohlhabendste Schule der Gegend gehen, bekommt dort aber schon früh mit auf den Weg gegeben, dass jeder sein eigenes Schicksal in den Händen hält. Als er schließlich ein zwölf Meter hohes Windrad baut, mit dem sich Strom erzeugen lässt, verändert er zunächst lediglich das Leben der Menschen in seinem Dorf zum Positiven. Nachdem er den Alltag in einem der ärmsten Länder der Erde aber ein kleines Stück besser gemacht hat, schlägt seine Geschichte im Internet schnell hohe Wellen. Und schon bald gilt William als regelrechter Volksheld und Symbol für große Veränderungen, die auch mit kleinen Mitteln erzielt werden können.

Shout Gladi Gladi(2015)

2,5/5 (bei 1 Stimme)

Shout Gladi Gladi is a documentary about hope. It tells the story of one woman's quest to cure fistula and save mother's lives in Africa. Shot in Malawi and Sierra Leone (just prior to the Ebola crisis) this is an intense portrait of the people suffering from fistula and the struggle of those who are not only trying to fix this condition but curtail it through better maternal health care. In addition, it is about women's empowerment, specifically through a radical device from BBOXX, a solar powered generator that provides the women not only with electricity in a region where there is none but also as a means to make money by charging cell phones.
