With executive production by Fernando Meirelles (director of City of God, The Constant Gardener and The Two Popes), the film follows Inna Modja, a singer and activist from Mali, on an epic journey along the Great Green Wall of Africa, an ambitious project that involves the growth of a “wall” of trees eight thousand kilometres long that stretches the whole breadth of the continent to restore land and provide a future to millions of people. Crossing Senegal, Mali, Nigeria, Niger and Ethiopia, Modja follows the flourishing Great Green Wall in the region of Sahel, one of the most vulnerable places on earth, where temperatures have risen 1.5 times faster than the global average, leading to the serious consequences of severe soil degradation and accelerated climate change. The wall aims to fight the increasing desertification, drought, scarcity of resources, radicalisation, conflicts and migration.

There are times when one feels like looking at everyday life through the rear-view mirror and going to unique places. Mountain villages are the perfect destination for these moments of escape, whether you are looking for action or meditation, with a typically hospitable welcome from the villagers always awaiting you. Some prefer moments of calm, to breathe in the serenity. Others prefer the wide-open spaces to experience the freedom and go on a journey of discovery. The perfect destination is the network of mountain villages, with a guarantee of living life to the full. Mountain villages are a unique destination. Because of the nature, the culture, the flavours or even as a refuge to get away from it all. Two factors make all the difference, which we can always count on. The nature is authentic. The people are genuine.
