Winner of the 1983 Grand Prix of the European Environmental Film Festival
Ten years ago on the borderlands of the Sahara thousands of people slowly starved to death during the Great Sahel Drought. Since then the yearly rains have returned, but each year millions of people still struggle to grow enough food to make one harvest stretch to the next. This film tells the story of just two of them.
After two visits to a small village in Upper Volta, Peter Adamson has re-created the story of Minata and Boureima-the story of whether enough rain will fall, whether enough food will grow and the story of the 10-year-old daughter who is about to become a woman - about to endure a week of sweet water.
