Hellooo! My grandmother sent me this movie, "Taking Root: The Vision of Wangari Maathai" and I was thinking it'd be fun and interesting for our class to watch. It's about the Kenyan Nobel Peace Prize Laureate Wangari Maathai "whose simple act of planting trees grew into a nationwide movement to safeguard the environment, protect human rights and defend democracy." It won like 11 awards. It's about land rights, activism and deforestation. Here's a review. http://www.popmatters.com/pm/review/73023-independent-lens-taking-root-the-vision-of-wangari-maathai/
Maybe we can do a dinner and a movie night when everyone's schedule settles down.
