Editor's Comment
"Inspired by a true life story, the movie is a “hopeful African film” about a Malawian boy named William Kamkwamba who, despite all the impossibilities and difficulties, builds a windmill with the materials he collects around him and brings water to his village. The movie impressively shows how people of different faiths can come together and live in solidarity."
