Audience Member The story of a Malawian teenager who drops out of school, puts together a windmill to generate electricity for his parents house, becomes an overnight sensation in the development community, and is 'mentored', ending up at a prestigous US university. This is an excellent understated documentary that raises complex questions about the motivations and effects of aid in a development context, and its potential for harm. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/22/23 Full Review Read all reviews
