Marcher sur l’eau

Spoken: Peul/French. Subtitles: English.

A victim of global warming, the village of Tatiste in northern Niger is trapped in a constant struggle for water. Every day, 14-year-old Houlaye and other children walk many kilometers to fetch water, which the village needs to survive. It makes regular school attendance impossible. The lack of water also drives adults to leave their families each year and cross the borders in search of resources for their livelihood. Yet, two hundred meters deep lies an enormous water source. Drilling a well would bring precious water to the village and ensure a better life for everyone...
