Last Sunday I finished watching The Boy Who Harnessed The Wind, a BBC production distributed by Netflix and based on a true story. A film that impressed me very much because it talks about some realities of Africa that we don't know, about how technology can help to solve many of the difficulties that are happening there and that makes you think about that other world that is there, but that we don't know.
he Boy Who Harnessed The Wind is also a song for perseverance in an idea, which you know can work and can end up helping the community in which you live.
A film not to be missed and to be watched in peace.

SYNOPSIS
A boy lives in his flesh the hardships that his family and his village are suffering because of the lack of water, which makes his family unable to cultivate. So he decides to build an air-generator to draw water from the well on his farm. The idea is a good one, but it is very complicated to carry it out.
