Life Unseen: Ngwenya Dam

Life Unseen: Ngwenya" is a captivating documentary that unveils the hidden world surrounding the Ngwenya Dam in the heart of Zambia's Misisi Shanty Compound. This film takes us on a remarkable journey through the lives of the local community, where the dam, born from the unintended consequences of quarrying, stands as a vital oasis in an otherwise harsh and arid landscape. The documentary delves into the history of Ngwenya Dam, explaining how it became an inseparable part of the community's identity. Through heartfelt interviews with local fishermen and families who rely on the dam for their livelihoods, we witness the profound impact of this man-made water body on their lives. From providing sustenance to creating childhood memories, the dam is more than just water; it's a lifeline. But amidst the serenity of Ngwenya Dam lies a tale of challenges. We explore the environmental issues plaguing the area, such as water pollution, water quality and sanitation, through the eyes of those directly affected. The film also confronts the specter of flooding, tracing back to the dam's origins and its role in exacerbating this risk. We take a balanced approach by incorporating government institutions and regulatory bodies such as LCC and LWSC to provide historical data, challenges of safeguarding groundwater in unplanned settlements, all while giving insight as a beacon of hope to the community that there are various projects trying to address such issues. As the film concludes, it leaves us with a profound message on the importance of sustainable development and environmental stewardship in shaping a brighter future for the resilient people of Misisi Shanty Compound. "Life Unseen: Ngwenya" is a compelling and eye-opening journey that reveals the hidden life, challenges, and dreams tied to a seemingly ordinary dam.
