Geneva International Film Festival – level 3

Geneva International Film Festival

17-03-2025 07:00

Around 100 film projects were submitted to the Impact Days program at the Geneva International Film Festival and Forum on Human Rights, but only 12 were selected.

One of them is Children of Honey, a documentary about Tanzania’s Hadzabe people and their fight to preserve their language. The Hadzabe are one of the world’s oldest hunter-gatherer tribes, struggling between keeping their traditions and adapting to modern life. Co-director Jigar Ganatra explained that the Hadza want the world to hear their story and to change how they are portrayed.

At the festival, filmmakers present their work to funders and organizations interested in the issues in their films. Impact producer Simona Nickmanova said the team is working closely with the Hadza to support grassroots efforts to protect their language and habitat. All selected filmmakers share a common goal: to use film as a tool for social change.

Difficult words: preserve (to keep safe or as it is), hunter-gatherer (people who live by hunting and collecting food), portrayed (represented or described).

How does the documentary explore the balance between preserving ancient traditions and adapting to modern life, and what actions are being taken to support this effort?
