Presentation of the documentary

Children of the Roof of Africa, by Hervé Doulat and Eric Collet - Ethiopia - 2017 - 25 minutes

The Simien Massif in northern Ethiopia is a Unesco-listed national park with high plateaus at over 4,000 metres. Despite the difficult conditions and the isolation of the area, thextraordinary, many people live in its foothills.

The vast majority of them are farmers and live in almost complete self-sufficiency and in precarious conditions. However, the beauty of the landscapes, the favourable climate and the absence of tropical diseases due to the altitude make Simien look like an earthly paradise, attracting hundreds of trekkers every year.

For two of them, the discovery turned into a goal: to create a foundation - Children in the Cloud -The aim is to help these populations, which are among the poorest and most isolated in the world, by building them a school.
