| Director: Anna Hickman New Zealand / Vietnam 2009 Nominated for Best Short Film and Best New Zealand Film Runner Up: Environmental Choice Award for Best Short FilmScreening times 2pm Sunday 17 May & 8pm Wednesday 20 May (22 mins) Filmed in the stunning mountainous Sa Pa region of Northern Vietnam, ‘Herbal Pathways’ shares a quietly intimate and informative account of the Medicinal Plants Innovation Project (MPIP). MPIP brought NZAID and the hill tribe people together on a quest to fulfil two objectives—poverty alleviation and plant conservation. Intellectually engaging, Pathways combines stunning cinematography with the hugely positive story of the conservation of important medicinal plants and of the communities that rely on these plants. |  |
