UK premier of 'Taking Root - The Vision of Wangari Maathai'

Date: Thu 28 May 2009

The Green Belt Movement and Amnesty International are proud to present the UK premier of 'Taking Root - The Vision of Wangari Maathai'.

'Taking Root' tells the dramatic story of Kenyan Nobel Peace Prize Laureate Wangari Maathai, whose simple act of planting trees grew into a nationwide movement to safeguard the environment, protect human rights and defend democracy.

The screening will be followed by a Q&A with a panel led by Wangari Maathai and including the film maker Lisa Merton and IIED Director Camilla Toulmin.

A suggested donation of £10 is kindly requested on the door. All donations will go towards the work of The Green Belt Movement.

To reserve a copy of 'The Challenge for Africa' at RRP £20.00 (hardback) or 'Unbowed' at RRP £8.99 (paperback), please e-mail The Green Belt Movement at gbmi@greenbeltmovement.org.
