Taking Root tells the dramatic story of Kenyan Nobel Peace Prize Laureate Wangari Maathai whose simple act of planting trees grew into a nationwide movement to safeguard the environment, protect human rights, and defend democracy—a movement for which this charismatic woman became an iconic inspiration.

    You were born just 7 years before me but you are gone already. Thank you so much. Your life was an inspiration to so many and you left a mark on this world which shows what can be accomplished, even by one person, if you don't give up. I will do my best to follow your example. I so, so wish I could have met you. Maybe I will be lucky and meet your daughter one day, and she can tell me about her disobedient, wonderful and very clever mother.
