In a small, dusty village in Malawi, a devastating famine forces a young boy named William Kamkwamba to drop out of school. With his family on the brink of starvation and his education cut short, William finds hope in the most unlikely of places: a discarded American physics textbook. From scrap metal and bicycle parts, he embarks on an audacious quest to build a windmill that will generate electricity and save his village. Met with laughter and ridicule, William perseveres, driven by an unyielding spirit and a powerful vision. The Boy Who Harnessed the Wind is the unforgettable true story of ingenuity, resilience, and hope. It is a testament to the idea that a single individual, armed with nothing but a dream and the courage to pursue it, can change their world and inspire millions.
