We need to save everything we can.
352
00:31:52,183 --> 00:31:53,850
There's no money for school fees.
353
00:31:55,141 --> 00:31:56,141

Everyone else, go to class.

00:32:44,850 --> 00:32:47,058
Your school fees have still not been paid.

There is no grace period.

Daniel?
368
00:34:13,225 --> 00:34:14,808
You haven't seen him for years.
369
00:34:15,850 --> 00:34:18,100
Maybe he can talk to the estate.

This way, please.
378
00:35:35,058 --> 00:35:39,350
I have some small savings
from when we were in business in Dowa.
379
00:35:40,225 --> 00:35:43,558
But I can use some of it
to buy back the trees on Kamkwamba land
380
00:35:43,641 --> 00:35:45,100
for the price they were bought for.
381
00:35:45,183 --> 00:35:46,183
They won't do that.
382
00:35:46,266 --> 00:35:49,475
No, if you tell them the land is flooding.
383
00:35:51,308 --> 00:35:52,433
We're losing the harvest.
384
00:35:52,683 --> 00:35:56,433
Trywell, they won't do that.
Why would they do that?
385
00:35:59,433 --> 00:36:01,641
Jeremiah sold the trees.
386
00:36:03,641 --> 00:36:05,808
Why didn't your brother
leave you that land?
387
00:36:07,475 --> 00:36:09,891
- You worked hard on that land.
- I don't know.
388
00:36:10,725 --> 00:36:12,965
He should have left it to you
to take care of the family.
389
00:36:13,225 --> 00:36:20,100
It was John's land to leave
to whoever he wants to leave it to.

00:36:24,933 --> 00:36:26,475
The Pope.

The Pope.

00:36:29,433 --> 00:36:31,891
That's what we used to call your father
back then.
393
00:36:32,225 --> 00:36:35,016
The most honest man in all of Dowa market.
394
00:36:36,433 --> 00:36:37,600
We used to laugh at him
395
00:36:37,808 --> 00:36:40,516
because what good can come
from an honest businessman?
396
00:36:41,433 --> 00:36:45,153
We used to laugh at him, until he had carried off
the most beautiful woman in the whole place.
397
00:36:47,391 --> 00:36:48,475
For farming.

<b><font color="#ca004b">[SIGHS]</font></b>
402
00:37:15,350 --> 00:37:16,475
The rains, Trywell.
403
00:37:20,475 --> 00:37:22,558
What can anybody do about these rains?
404
00:37:23,808 --> 00:37:27,683
This year, the land is too wet.
Next year, too dry.
405
00:37:28,891 --> 00:37:30,516
You can't do business like that.
406
00:37:33,183 --> 00:37:35,641
All indications have been
that the grain harvest
407
00:37:35,766 --> 00:37:37,016
would be good this year.
408
00:37:37,350 --> 00:37:40,391
Even the International Monetary Fund,
the World Bank,
409
00:37:41,016 --> 00:37:43,350
told the government
to sell all the excess grain
410
00:37:43,433 --> 00:37:44,558
to Mozambique and Kenya.
411
00:37:45,725 --> 00:37:46,808
And so they did.
