About The Grand African Green Up

The Grand African Green Up is a documentary written and directed by the Earth scientist and masterful storyteller Safi Graauw. It tells the story of Africa’s pledge to restore over 130 million hectares of degraded soil by 2030. Watching it, you will experience the true might of the continent and its green revolution from above, thanks to the film’s unique birds-eye perspective. 

‘The Grand African Green Up’ showcases the work of the pan-continental restoration initiative AFR100 and Justdiggit, but also the hard work of the local communities in Kenya, Tanzania, Madagascar, Ghana, and Senegal. It features several restoration icons such as Wanjira Mathai, who narrates this story.
