Based on the true story of William Kamkwamba and his book written with Bryan Mealer, "The Boy Who Harnessed the Wind: Creating Currents of Electricity and Hope", this film follows a 13-year-old boy who discovered a way to save his Malawi village from famine. It is the directorial debut for "12 Years a Slave" actor Chiwetel Ejiofor, as well as the first starring role for newcomer Maxwell Simba, who plays William, and it's a total tearjerker.
