Continuing our coverage of films at the Melbourne Documentary Film Festival (MDFF).

We chat with David Holmgren here, who is featured in the film Reading the Landscape. David Homgren, co-originator of the permaculture concept, and Reading the Landscape takes us on a journey through key regenerative methods for a healthy ecological future.

Then a conversation with the director Orit Novak and her co-producer Nelson Wwangi here  about a project run by Sanku to eradicate malnutrion in East Africa. Hidden Hunger journeys across Kenya and Tanzania, exploring urban and rural communities, to shed light on the invisible crisis of malnutrition. The film emphasises the voices of women; mothers, millers, farmers and activists as they work hard to implement impactful solutions whilst facing a challenging reality. Through their narratives, the documentary illustrates how Sanku's fortified maize initiatives empower communities to combat disease, enhance livelihoods, and pave the way for a brighter future for generations to come
