The project was particularly concerned with the women living in the desert, as they played a crucial role in its success. To showcase the efforts of these women, UNDP commissioned a documentary film that captured their dedication, perseverance, and hard work. The film aimed to raise awareness about the critical role of women in the fight against desertification and highlight their contributions to the project's success. The documentary film, which offered a unique perspective on the impact of desertification on communities, was later screened at the United Nations headquarters in Zang. It went on to win the top prize for Best Film and Best Director at the Tehran Green Film Festival in 2000 brought to Nima Bank, an event that recognized films that promoted environmental awareness. The film's recognition was a significant achievement for the women involved in the project, as it celebrated their work and contributions to tackling an urgent environmental issue. Furthermore, the film's success highlighted the importance of documenting and showcasing the critical role of women in environmental conservation efforts. Written by Nima Bank See less
