**Sundance Film Festival**
The story of Monika Barman, a teenager from rural India growing food to feed her family and the seeds of her own independence in a tiny rooftop garden. Monika is part of a program launched by the West Bengal government and the nonprofit Landesa that teaches basic farming methods to some 40,000 girls in the area. The goals are simple: reduce child marriage, keep the girls in school longer and help them eat better. And farming is the key to reaching those goals.
