Seeds of Inspiration: Sudan’s First Flying Robot Farmer
Al Jazeera Witness
2017
Two Sudanese inventors use a drone to take on desertification and their rivals in a TV competition for entrepreneurs.
Review Reelworld : It drops you right in—into the crisis and into the sand. The cinematography is stunning. In Sudan, sand is the ultimate destroyer, leaving behind a wasteland after a storm. Nothing can grow and no one can live. Two Sudanese engineers develop drones to farm land under threat of desertification. These are men of invention, persevering past terrorist sanctions, and executing agricultural robotics.
