Summary An estimated 90% of land in Africa has no registered owner, including areas farmed for generations by the same families in Mali. Multinational companies see opportunities to develop these areas, and governments in Mali and elsewhere hail such projects as bringers of progress. But for villagers who lose their ancestral lands - not just where they have farmed, but where many have buried their forebears - such advances are a catastrophe. In these scenes from Hugo Berkeley and Osvalde Levat's documentary Land Rush, Malians battle to prevent the increasing acquisition of their land.
