Seeds Of Science

The film offers a glimpse into the daily lives of many young girls passionate about science, yet often expected from their teenage years onward to enter early marriage. It highlights the impact of committed and inspiring women who are working to change these realities and improve opportunities for the next generation. Seeds of Science takes the audience on a journey to remote regions where access to knowledge — and even to basic necessities such as clean drinking water — remains a privilege rather than a given.
