- Summary
- Through her Green Belt Movement, Wangari Maathai--environmental activist, social justice advocate, and Nobel Peace Prize recipient--has planted 30 million trees in Kenya while protecting existing forests endangered by development. A veritable force of nature herself, Maathai communicates her infectious fervor as she advocates environmental action and government reform in this documentary. The program also captures a sense of modern Kenya's history: a country co-opted by British colonialism, energized by independence, and mired in a repressive era of political corruption.
