Presentation: Sawla is a small municipality in the Tuna-Kalba region of northern Ghana. It is home to 10,000 people from a dozen different ethnic groups. It is a rural area with an agricultural production increasingly dependent on the outside. There are many people who, in recent years, have thought it was no longer worthwhile to engage in it. In this series of 3 short films, the people talk about their relationship with their natural environment.
