April 2 – Film Series: Taking Root, 7pm, MainStreet Cinema
This documentary shares the inspiring story of Kenyan Nobel Peace Prize
Laureate Wangari Maathai. What started as a simple act, planting trees,
grew into a strong political and environmental movement. Taking Root
brings to life the confidence and joy of people working to improve their own
lives while also ensuring the future and vitality of their land. The film
captures Maathai’s tireless worldview in which nothing is perceived as
impossible. It has won numerous awards, including Audience Awards at the
Projecting Change Film Festival, Mendocino Film Festival, and Canadian
International Documentary Festival as well as Amnesty International’s Human
Rights Award.
Thanks!
