About

I am a filmmaker, mother and activist.  The documentary film Taking Root has a social, political and environmental syncronisity with the global issues we are faced with today.   I am excited and compelled to explore and discuss how these issues are being addressed and resolved.  I hope that the message of Taking Root: The Vision of Wangari Maathai can support positive actions.

I hope this blog may become a place to discuss how the work of the Green Belt Movement and Wangari Maathai  have inspired you.  It has to start with us.

As John Makanga says in Taking Root, “… no matter how small, no matter what you are, you can make a difference.”

I hope that you will join me. –  Lisa
