Maleeha Meghjee

My film explores the idea of holistic health and well-being, and depicting the connections between health and the variety of conditions we experience. I wanted to show through these farmers stories, that health is so much more than we realize. My film explores these stories, relates them to our current definitions of well-being, and shows health beyond just our physical bodies.
