Taking Root: The Vision of Wangari Maathai documents the story of Kenya’s Green Belt Movement, a grassroots organization encouraging rural women and families to plant trees in community groups, and follows Wangari Maathai, the movement’s founder and the first environmentalist and African woman to win the Nobel Prize in 2004.
Maathai helped spark a movement to reclaim Kenya’s land from a century of deforestation while providing new sources of livelihood to rural communities.
The film follows her three-decade journey of courage to protect the environment, ensure gender equality, defend human rights and promote democracy—all sprouting from the achievable act of planting trees.
Lisa Merton and Alan Dater directed the production which will air March 22 (check your local listings) on the PBS network Independent Lens series.
