The film effectively demonstrates how these initiatives equip women with the skills and knowledge needed to navigate the agricultural sector more successfully.

The cinematography (Noam Azouz) enhances the film’s impact, capturing both the charm of the rural communities and the determination of the farmers. The sound design is crisp, and the editing is seamless, ensuring that the narrative flows smoothly without losing focus. Each interview is carefully interwoven, allowing the women to tell their own stories in an authentic and engaging way.

‘Her Way: Warc Africa’ is an educational and inspiring documentary that offers a clear and well-structured exploration of the agricultural challenges in Ghana. It presents a strong case for investment in sustainable farming initiatives and highlights the resilience of the women who drive them forward.
