Plot:
Adapted from William Kamkwamba's autobiography "The Boy Who Harnessed The Wind", it tells a life-changing story: Kamkwamba himself saved his village at the age of 13 by building a wind turbine with small pieces of scrap metal, old bicycle parts and wood. The 13-year-old Kamkwamba was expelled from school because his family had no money to pay the $80 annual tuition. The love of learning sneaked into the school library and found a way to save the famine-stricken village: using the main frame of his father's bicycle to build a simple but workable windmill, providing much-needed electricity to the western region without being disturbed by government power outages. This invention also allowed Kamkwamba to receive funding from a professor in Malawi, a scholarship from the school, and in-depth exchanges with other inventors on the African continent.
