In ??? ????? ????? ???? reist de Malinese zangeres Inna Modja door Senegal, Mali, Nigeria, Niger en Ethiopië, langs de Grote Groene Muur. Zo legt ze de acute gevolgen van de klimaatcrisis, zoals droogte, voedselschaarste, conflicten en migratie, in de Sahelregio bloot - een van de meest kwetsbare plekken op aarde (de temperaturen stijgen 1,5 keer sneller dan het wereldgemiddelde). Tijdens haar tocht ontmoet Inna ook verschillende artiesten en muzikanten die allen de maatschappelijke ontwrichting als onderwerp van hun kunst nemen. De hoop in hun muziek doet leven. The Great Green Wall is niet alleen een documentaire die de actualiteit van de klimaatverandering in een voelbare werkelijkheid toont. De film getuigt van humanisme, activisme en vooral verbondenheid.

In this documentary, Malian musician and activist Inna Modja and executive producer Fernando Meirelles (Academy Award-Nominated Director of City of God & The Constant Gardener) take us on an epic journey along Africa's Great Green Wall — an ambitious vision to grow an 8,000km 'wall’ of trees stretching across the entire width of the continent to restore land and provide a future for millions of people. Traversing Senegal, Mali, Nigeria, Niger and Ethiopia, Modja follows the burgeoning Great Green Wall through Africa’s Sahel region - one of the most vulnerable places on earth (temperatures are rising 1.5 times faster than the global average) - laying bare the acute consequences of severe land degradation and accelerating climate change the Wall aims to counteract: increasing desertification, drought, resource scarcity, conflict and migration.
A Buena Vista Social Club meets Years of Living Dangerously, frontline characters give voice to a continent at a crossroads — stories Modja echoes on a sublime album. With the support of insightful musical collaborators (Didier Awadi, Songhoy Blues, Waje, and Betty G), Modja endeavors to amplify the promise of the Great Green Wall in helping to address the urgency of the real-time threats facing her beleaguered homeland. Although the film does the groundwork for a climate change cautionary tale, The Great Green Wall provides a refreshing story of resilience, optimism and collection action. If completed, the Wall will be the largest living structure on earth, three times the size of the Great Barrier Reef — a new world wonder.
As Modja passionately pursues an African Dream for a generation seeking to control their own destiny, she reminds us of the enormity of the task ahead and that time is not on our side. The resulting journey of hope, hardship and perseverance reveals our shared human condition, reflecting a deeper moral and existential question we all must confront: “Will we take action before it's too late?”

???? ????? is a Malian actress, singer and environmental activist who appeared in, and wrote the music for, the UNCCD’s 2019 Great Green Wall documentary. The acclaimed film followed her extraordinary journey through Senegal, Mali, Nigeria, Niger and Ethiopia, and was a collaboration with Oscar-nominated producer Fernando Meirelles. With a strong following in Francophone West Africa and France, Inna is a leader among the young people committed to changing the narrative of the Sahel. Her music, energy, passion, and humanitarian works resonate with her audiences worldwide. 'The Great Green Wall is not just about planting trees. It has to become a movement. From the whole continent….from the whole world.'
