Man-made Famine (1982)

Presented and narrated by double Oscar winning actress Glenda Jackson and produced by an award winning team including: Chris Sheppard and Art director/Producer Mark Cornwell. This powerful multi award wining film argues that neglect of women farmers is a major reason for famine in Africa. Three quarters of Africa's food is grown by women, but most of Africa's land is owned by men, and most agricultural investment is given to men. The focus is on one village and one woman respectively from Burkino Faso, Kenya and Zimbabwe.
