From chaos to creativity
(15 min)
Produced by the Groots International Network,
this 15-minute film features footage from three member groups in
India , Turkey , and Honduras who supported women and their communities
to organize and rebuild their lives following devastating natural
disasters. Viewers learn hear how women acted to redirect relief
aid, secure food and shelter, combat corruption, and later organize
themselves to run community women and children centers and income
generating activities following earthquakes and hurricanes.
Women community leaders describe the wide gap between
the real needs of poverty-affected families and the official response
of governments. This included flawed housing programs and the neglect
of basic services. The film describes how women were inspired to
create collective initiatives to secure their families' basic needs.
Assessing their gains and losses, community members
articulate why future disaster interventions must involve (not marginalize)
affected citizens in planning and implementing community recovery
and development. Most important, it showcases how grassroots women
must play to anchor disaster response -a central message of the
film.
