~ Film: The Man Who Stopped The Desert ~
‘The Man Who Stopped The Desert’ tells the story of Yacouba Sawadogo, an African
peasant farmer and his struggle to produce pioneering farming techniques which have
now changed the lives of thousands of people. This documentary drama follows the
man's life from enforced Koran teachings to the burning of his land by jealous
neighbours. This incredible story is told in a mere hour, a testament to the art of
documentary film making.
