We will be showing this film at the Malden Public Library on Wednesday, March 26, 2025: 6:00-8:00pm. This documentary explores the life of William Kamkwamba, author of the book, <em>The Boy Who Harnessed The Wind</em>, Malden Reads’ 2025 selection.</p><p>“With only a library book as his guide, 14-year-old William Kamkwamba builds a windmill in his Malawian village that changes his life forever. Using junk parts and an inexhaustible imagination, he harnesses enough energy to power a generator that saves his family from famine and resuscitates his dying farming community. An instant media sensation, the teen soon has the ability to chart a previously unimaginable future of TEDtalks, Ivy League schools, and speaking tours. But despite the help of an American entrepreneur who helps navigate his success, some changes threaten to capsize him. He was once just a kid back home, but suddenly he’s a village leader.” <strong><em>William And The Windmill</em></strong> is directed by Ben Nabors. The film is <em>Not Rated (97 min.) (2013).</em></p><p>Pick up a copy of the book, <strong><em>The Boy Who Harnessed The Wind</em></strong>, at the Malden Public Library or find the digital copy on Libby.</p><p>For more details about our Malden Reads Film Screening & Discussion, please contact the Malden Public Library at 781-324-0218.
