Mozambique has the second largest mangrove area in the entire African continent, yet it is at risk of seeing it disappear. With increasingly more cyclones surging in, we try to understand how these suspended forests can mitigate the effects of climate change and how we can preserve them without compromising the lives of coastal communities. Mahid has known mangrove life for more than fifteen years. In this documentary, produced by ANIMA, and directed by Fábio Ribeiro, we enter the life of this inhabitant of the Quirimbas, debating with him the conflicts between the population and nature.
