Ady Gasy

Spoken: Malagasi. Subtitles: English.

Boldly imagining a world where we don’t look to academics and policy experts for answers on how to survive an economic crisis, Ady Gasy follows artists, farmers and craftsmen as the wise voices building a new society. This poetic documentary welcomes you to the Malagasy way of life; a mix of inventiveness and artistic ingenuity where proverbs decorate speech; where lamps are made from used cans, maracas and oil, and where soap and medication are created out of zebu bones from the dump. Welcome to a world where despite the daily adversity and struggles, music, joie de vivre, fraternal support and, above all, a sense of creative recycling thrives.
