The Boy Who Harnessed the Wind (1h 53 mins) 2019

Inspired by a science book, 13-year-old William Kamkwamba builds a wind turbine to save his Malawian village from famine. Based on a true story. 


The Boy Who Harnessed the Wind tells the inspiring true story of William Kamkwamba, a curious and resourceful teenager growing up in rural Malawi. When drought and economic hardship push his farming community into famine, William is forced to leave the school he loves because his family can no longer afford the fees. 

Refusing to give up on learning, he secretly studies in the village library, where a science book sparks an audacious idea. Against all odds — and with only scrap materials, determination, and imagination — he designs and builds a wind turbine that helps bring electricity and water back to his village, offering hope when it is needed most. 

Directed by and starring Chiwetel Ejiofor, the film is a moving drama about resilience, family, education, and the power of ingenuity to change lives.


We'll also have:

Delicious (mostly) organic vegan curries from Fergus Bradbeer aka Vegie Vortex (who also used to do the curries at Beach and Barnicott), plus hot and cold drinks. 

Please note:

Our room hire costs £48/ week so if you're able to able to contribute more than the default ticket amount then please do so. 

We also need to ensure enough people come along to make it worthwhile for Fergus to keep coming along to cook up the delicious food - so invite a friend!

Many thanks in advance. Together We Have Everything.
