FEATURE: "THE WELL: WATER VOICES OF ETHIOPIA"
Directors: Paolo Barbieri and Riccardo Russo
A visually stunning film told through the words of an ancient shepherd, the viewer is guided through the life of the Borana, a semi nomadic population in the south of Ethiopia that struggle perennially for survival.
During the long periods of annual drought, the Borana life revolves around ancient perpetual wells, the only resource against the tragic effects of global climate change. Every day the young shepherds form human chains to reach the great depths of the wells and fetch life giving water.
Their hard work is stressed by a chant that draws their great herds, who after days of walking in search of pasture are finally coming home to drink at the singing wells.
