Swim Woman, Swim: a Zanzibari story

This short documentary tells the story of a small group of women who set out to help the seaweed farmers of Zanzibar (+90% of whom are women) to learn to swim, as climate change is impacting their crops and forcing them into deep water. In 2019 one village alone lost 3 of its farmers this way as they do not know how to swim or survive in the water.
