Between documentary and fiction, an essential film on the importance of water.
Marcher sur l'eau (Walking on Water) was filmed in northern Niger between 2018 and 2020 and tells the story of the village of Tatiste, a victim of global warming, which is fighting to gain access to water by building a borehole. Every day, fourteen-year-old Houlaye, like other young girls, walks for miles to fetch the water that is essential to village life.
Among other things, this daily chore prevents them from attending school regularly. The lack of water also forces adults to leave their families every year to seek the resources they need to survive across the border.
Yet this region has an aquifer lake covering several thousand square kilometers. Under the impetus of the local inhabitants and through the action of the NGO Amman Imman, a borehole would bring the much-coveted water to the center of the village and offer everyone a better life.
