The Thinking Garden

Directed by Christine Welsh
South Africa, 2017 (documentary, 35 minutes, colour, Tsonga)

Film Description:
"In the dying days of apartheid, three generations of older women in a village in South Africa come together to create a community garden. This documentary was created against the backdrop of the epic drought in southern Africa, a climate-change and El Nino-linked event that has left over 30 million people food insecure and caused soaring food prices in the region. With limited access to crucial resources like irrigation, women and children are the hardest hit in such disasters. The Thinking Garden is an inspiring story of resilience. It shows what can happen when women take matters into their own hands and how collaborative efforts and community building can mitigate some of the worst effects of climate change."
