Lessons and leadership from communities like Mrs. Binta Monya Jalloh, from the Zimmi Chiefdom of Sierra Leone, led to two groundbreaking laws that radically improve communities’ ability to protect their land rights and pursue sustainable development. These new laws are among the most progressive on land, environmental, and climate justice in the world. This short documentary features Mrs. Jalloh’s story - and how she and others combined the power of law with the power of organising to void a lease agreement that they never consented to.
