Sorghum: a crop of our ancestors


Description given on Youtube:
In southern Madagascar environmental change is pushing the poor even closer to the margins of survival. Two indigenous communities share the experience of this environment through their own films and life stories, providing an insight into the realities of rural poverty and the coping strategies they have developed. Sorghum is an ancestral crop for the Antandroy people and is now being revived following years of failing corn harvests in the regions annual drought.
An Antandroy elder passes on her knowledge of preparing sorghum.
