The Boy Who Harnessed the Wind (2019), directed by Chiwetel Ejiofor, shares the true story of William Kamkwamba, a boy from Malawi whose ingenuity brought hope to his drought-stricken village.
After being forced to leave school, William teaches himself science from library books and discovers how to generate wind power. Using scrap parts and an old bicycle, he builds a windmill that pumps water and saves the crops.
More than just a story of invention, the film celebrates resilience, knowledge, and the power of never giving up — showing how one idea can change everything.
