We are translating and dubbing Taking Root : The Vision of Wangari Maathai into Haitian Creole. This is very exciting and the start of a large project involving almost 20 languages.*
As I write, Nadine Dominique, the daughter of Jean Dominique (subject of the film The Agronomist by Jonathan Demme) is sitting here working on the translation.
The film will be used by grassroots organizations in Haiti to help people make the connections between environmental justice, human rights and good governance as Wangari Maathai did in Kenya. The Lambi Fund of Haiti http://www.lambifund.org/ who already has a connection with the Green Belt Movement of Kenya, will be using the film in their work. This project was started before the earthquake and now is even more important for the environmental and social well-being of Haiti.
