The people of Lesotho —a highland country surrounded by South Africa— face numerous challenges. However, the country’s grassroots communities also demonstrate enormous capacity and creativity. Many artists use their talent to turn negatives into positives: designers who transform trash into beautiful jewelry, clothing and rugs, filmmakers who transform tragedies into artistic expressions of resilience and compassion, musicians who write songs to save the environment. The film portrays these inventive creators who use art as a means of communicating a common desire for change.
