What would you think if you had to walk up a dangerous mountain path each day to carry water back to your village?
For the second in our short season of 'the power of water' films, we are off to an un-named African country this weekend, where the stage is set for the local women to take on this centuries old tradition. Why should they have to carry the water from a mountain spring when their men could build a pipeline that would remove the danger? 'The Source' is a comedy drama which tries to bring out all sides of this argument, not just showing the men as lazy chauvinists, or portraying Muslim women as oppressed victims. The women decide to go on a 'love strike', which gets into the national press. Wrap this all up with some great acting and fantastic scenery and the resulting film is a kind of 'Made in Dagenham' for the Arab Spring.
