UmaMake It Last: Keeping Tradition Alive

Par: Alex Silverman

UmaMake It Last is directed and produced by Savannah Harvey, Jeremy Bates, and Nadja Bangoura, who also serve as editors and cinematographers. The film was produced as part of the Actuality Abroad film study program which aims to spotlight nonprofits and NGOs making positive social impacts. The young filmmakers partnered with Tri Hita Karana, a foundation running bio-sustainability programs based in Ubud.

Set in Bali, Indonésie, UmaMake it Last portrays the challenges faced by rice farmers whose centuries-old traditions are threatened by chemical farming. One farmer strives to preserve these traditions, enabling rice growth in half the usual time without chemicals. Le film, beautifully shot, offers a glimpse into Indonesia’s natural splendor.

The farmer’s resilience to uphold tradition amid diminishing natural practices sets this film apart in Actuality Abroad’s portfolio. Personnellement, it sparked my interest in exploring the Actuality Abroad program and potentially working with such a fascinating organization.

je note ce film 4 de 5 étoiles.
