Event Details

Join AustCham and AmCham's Sustainability Committees for an evening of drinks, networking and a screening of Volker Schlöndorff's The Forest Maker Documentary featuring world-renowned Australian agronomist Tony Rinaudo.


FOREST MAKER is the portrait of a remarkable man: Tony Rinaudo has found a way to grow trees in the most barren areas by activating the tree stumps and roots still alive as an "underground forest", securing the livelihood of thousands of farmers in Africa. His method "Farmer Managed Natural Regeneration" (FMNR) restores not only soil but dignity and hope. The Chief of all Farmers, as he is affectionately known today in many villages, has had to fight an uphill battle to gain acceptance for his ideas. Having worked in the Sahel region for 30 years he witnessed despair and famine but also resilience, determination and change. In THE FOREST MAKER Volker Schlöndorff follows Tony Rinaudo to different African countries to witness the effect FMNR has had on fighting desertification. THE FOREST MAKER shows ordinary people doing extraordinary things and carries a strong message of community, self-empowerment and, above all, hope.


The screening will last 40 minutes, followed by a Q&A with Tony Rinaudo and World Vision Hong Kong CEO Amy Fung moderated by David Mundy, Global Head of Sustainability Technology and Transformation, Fidelity International.


Refreshments will be provided and delicious gourmet popcorn sponsored by Feste Group will be available to eat while watching! This event is open to both members and non-members.
