Under a tree in Dowa in Malawi a group of young people are making a documentary film while reflecting on their lives.‘It’s frustrating as a young person having an education and yet have nothing to do’, says Mwai.The group decides to find out about what other young people are doing to make a living. Making their own film also gives them confidence to go and interview the chief about the situation of young people in their community and question the access to land.Emotions are stirred as the young women feel discriminated against because parents culturally prefer to give land to male children.‘When things get tough we have to stand together, take charge of our lives and not rely on the men.’ Harriet is in agreement with the two female farmers who successfully work the land.Against all Odds is a journey of asking questions that strengthens the determination of young people to believe that they will make it someday.
