Ardhi Yangu
From "Solutions Inside Out," a short film from Victor Njagi x Landesa
In Tanzania, a young widow discovers the power and potential to change her life and protect the planet – in the land beneath her feet. This film is a product of the Solutions Storytelling Project.
Landesa is an international non-profit organization dedicated to improving the lives of rural women and men by strengthening their rights to land. These rights to land – a fundamental economic asset around the world – are foundational to fighting poverty, promoting gender equality, and arresting the climate crisis.
Victor is a Nairobi based filmmaker, writer, and documentary researcher. He works across documentary, music videos, and commercial projects that center his interest in true stories that address climate change and gender based issues in society.
We'll be sharing updates as this film makes its way into the world. In the meantime, please send it to someone who you think would be inspired by it. And leave a comment and a like on the video to support this organization's and filmmaker's work!
