Event description

Solar Mamas (2012) is a documentary about Rafea, an uneducated woman who has never left her tiny village of tents in Jordan. In the film, she travels to India to become a solar-energy engineer, hoping she can return to help her village become sustainable and self-sufficient. But learning about the electrical components without being able to read, write or understand English is the easy part. Indeed, Rafea faces many challenges, including the possibility of losing her children, if she wants to complete the course.

This event is part of CENN’s Green Café campaign, a monthly happening open to everyone which aims at outlining the social and cultural realities within which the environmental issues of our time are embedded. The structure of these events will be simple: a screening or a presentation followed by a discussion to communally reflect upon and question the messages of the films and presentations.

The event is free of charge and will take place in Tbilisi, in the downstairs room of Divan, a café/bar located at 3/5 Tabidze St. from 6.30 pm on the 11th of March. A short introduction will be given in Georgian but some knowledge of English will be preferable to understand the film and take part in the discussion.
