ADY GASY (THE MALAGASY WAY)

SYNOPSIS :

The Malagasy Way is a poetic, proverb-packed tour of an alternative way of life central to Madagascar’s culture and society. Rejecting the waste and overconsumption that plague Western nations, the film examines how the people of Madagascar have embraced a conservationist lifestyle of recycling, repurposing and self-reliance in the midst of a global economic crisis, using ingenuity, not underdevelopment, as their inspiration. Structured as a Kabary, the Malagasy traditional oratorion, this documentary uses music, theater, folk tradition and metaphor to create a unique portrait of life in Madagascar.
