From the Mara Soil - a Film About Simple and Natural Solutions to Poverty, Hunger and Disease

A film directed by Steve Schrenzel

What if global hunger, poverty and disease could be solved with resources already at our disposal?

From the Mara Soil transports you to a community in rural Tanzania that is doing just that - solving humanity's greatest challenges with simple, natural and affordable solutions.

A small plot of sandy, dry land is being transformed into a nutrient-rich food forest. Women are escaping the hazards of daily life by capturing the energy of the sun. The community is discovering cures to deadly disease in local plants and natural medicine. A local non-profit is tapping into clean, pure water just below the bedrock....

This visually stunning film captures the daily pain and suffering caused by poverty in Tanzania, and the creativity and courage of the Mara community in finding practical solutions to their own problems.

They say what the ingredients are in the documentary. And a google search about the chemicals produces mostly articles in support of it as a malaria treatment. Not a cure 'for everything' - but for malaria? Maybe. There are no reported deaths from MMS. BUT if you're looking for alternative solutions to Malaria - the doco talks about Neem as a dietary inoculant :)

what a great movie. i worry a bit about fracturing bedrock for water agriculture and livestock - the water is serving the earth's purpose underground. if you take too much too it could run out then you have grown a population and practices on an unsustainable resource. that's not to say it can't be one of many solutions. AMAZING work being done here.

Wonderful solutions that should be duplicated in all of Africa!

First 20 minutes of the film look like a nice documentary on solving pressing problems of Tanzanians. The film also talks about how devastating malaria is and about the "cure" for the desease called Miracle Mineral Supplement developed by a guy named Jim Humble. The cure is actually Sodium Chlorite combined with citric acid. Ouch! Just search on Google for miracle mineral solution guardian to find the Guardian article about Jim Humble and his "cure" for everything.
