Moving Windmills

Film is now a recognized tool of social change. This is the story of William Kamkwamba, a young man from Malawi whose self-taught engineering skills created a windmill that produced electricity. His ingenious invention brought miraculous change to William's life. Everything is different now for his family, his village, and beyond. William's story inspires others to become innovators and to persevere in difficult circumstances. It shines a light on what philanthropy makes possible: after being a beneficiary of the generosity of others, William is now able to build schools in his home country. This is journalism, which some people call "a documentary."
