IP & Cinema - The boy who harnessed the wind





I Love to write content on movies, whenever I feel there is a message related to intellectual property in one way or the other. By now from my other posts, you all would have come to know that intellectual property rights protect intellectual creations.

On that note this 2019 movie 'The Boy who harnessed the wind' is suggested by me for those who are fond of inventing new things. This movie demonstrates problem solving through inventions. This is a movie based ona true Story of 13 year old boy who built a wind turbine to save his village from famine under resource restricted circumstances.

He is thrown out of school because his parents could not afford his fees. Nonetheless, he sneaks in to his school library and learns to build a windmill and save his village from famine. 

Watch and comment on how it inspired you and contributed to spur your creative ability.
