a knee in the northern italian province of trentino. hockey to a day of good ditech came to italy as a refugee eight years ago but since then she's built up a goat milk cheese business from scratch. i think that that. nice if she could i mean this from when she first arrived a lot of people in the valley didn't quite know how to react to this. but they're not used to seeing strangers and they're certainly not used to seeing a black. this in previous to him. but he's very open and very honest. that it was from all the file and i noticed over time people grew quite fond of these took the most and quite of the look of short to show much. more you know she's a. very important part of

9:33 pm
just about. to burst lived in italy after graduating from high school when she got a scholarship and came to trying to go to study sociology at the university. then she went back to ethiopia. but return to italy in twenty ten this time as a political refugee and came up with the idea of starting a goat cheese business. to me and to not use an apostrophe my ancestors were nomadic shepherds it's part of my family tradition. and i've worked on various projects that involved sustainable agriculture. products that most of those projects dealt with no magic shepherds.
9:34 pm
you know my idea it was during this time that i developed a very special relationship with the goats i'm really passionate about them you see as you get to know their character and the quality of their milk for young people. and that creates a strong bond. t.t.t. paned. good luck. when i came back to italy i was impressed right away with all the open green space. there was a lot of abandoned pasture land. that and that's when i got the idea to start raising local breeds of goat like the protect america from the valet democracy. there were hardly any of them left at the time to use to put it through directly but oh it was the somebody there who can i started with fifteen goats now i have one hundred eighty that provide so quite heard. through and you can do in the middle but to kill it i threw so i chose this indigenous breed because it adapts
9:35 pm
perfectly to the local environment and i wanted this project to be as authentic as possible. not to beat up regrowth into. that category yeah. let me say what do you think of them. beautiful. beautiful so you've gotten used to your surroundings. yes they've got is that the is that like being home yeah you really so you're happy. yeah. right. back in his homeland he worked as a shepherd so he's used to cows sheep and goats. when i asked him to work for me he agreed right away. it's his first day on the job poor guy. but he'll get used to it . almost all the shepherds who work for
9:36 pm
a key to are refugees zaccaria has lived in italy for nearly four years now an ngo connected him with a key to. me i really like this kind of work. and i not only like you i know you want to be new and i love what i going to do my kids start working with animals at the age of five and boy it's not like here where kids go to school with the least to do. it i guess if we just. refugees are resilient people this work is physically demanding in the hours are long but they can handle it if you become even. on the other hand the italian young people who take an interest in this work are really enthusiastic at first they want to change their lives the natural
9:37 pm
surroundings and the goats are beautiful but that enthusiasm usually doesn't last long. we i mean it was the easier fiji's have made it through the desert and across the sea and that's made them tougher. and they want to make something of themselves as well if i know i'm. disgusted obscene. the valid to mccain he has always been sparsely populated but in recent years many of its residents have moved away. lucky to let her go to graze in the unused communal pastures that she leases. she started this job as a sideline but it's now turned into full time work. temperamentally this i came to italy the first time to study then i came back in two thousand and ten because i had to leave. the political situation had become unacceptable.
9:38 pm
in some of us had fought back against a neo colonial practice called land grabbing. that's when the government takes over private farmland and gives it to multinational investors and companies. soldiers just show up on private property and say an investor wants your land so you have to leave now to. move. forward we organize peaceful protest against this practice but troops often turned up and fired at the demonstrators space who were in the sports there for the day maybe a lot of people were arrested. and some were tortured to do this but. since the one nine hundred ninety s. the ethiopian government has favored economic progress over human rights in twenty fifteen and twenty sixteen security forces killed more than a thousand people and imprisoned tens of thousands more. a state of emergency was
9:39 pm
finally lifted in twenty eighteen but freedom of expression remains restricted and the use of torture in prisons is widespread. because this is the. state in that situation until two thousand and ten. then things got so dangerous that i basically had to leave overnight for my own safety. are. you a reality person for tonight the pretty i mean i was really lucky because as an ex didn't i still had all my italian residence papers getting to know i still have friends in trentino who took me in that was a huge help those first few weeks when i was just trying to sort myself out and recover and you know it but in between the change your thinking on yes yes did out through grillin then little by little you pick yourself up and start over again but i and the people in the levee. help but i will.
9:40 pm
twice a day fresh goat's milk is brought down from the mountain to ivy to small dairy in the village. marianna comes from a village nearby she started working here as an internal a few days ago she wants to learn the secrets of making goat cheese first hand. so let's make. rubio love as a soft right but cheese. hockey too explains that she refuses robey all the way in her cheese making process here the way is full of enzymes and they react with the milk. listen.
9:41 pm
to this mixture is left to coagulate and create curds for twenty four hours. i always say you either like your work and you keep at it or you hate it in quit. it's fun to do have some cool see if it was for most i took several courses on how to make cheese in france. and then i tried to figure out what people here might like and you could choose a piastre is right now i make fifteen different kinds of cheese so i can meet varying tastes and fill lots of different orders from customers when guided via the . cheese dairy is called the cops. or the happy goat. it's won several awards including one from
9:42 pm
the slow food organization. and her cheese products were chosen to represent the region at the milan expo. the reason why she went to france to study cheese making is simple. you know last time i mean. there are hardly any goats left unturned so i'm a pioneer when it comes to go cheese. here all the courses are focused on making cheese from cow's milk. or at least they were when i started out about. it being delighted to and the french are the best at making goat's milk cheese. so i thought i'd better go right to the source. it would eat a lot of dough i love. it when it was little man. it was the world of cheese making is rather special.
9:43 pm
you have something green that then gets turned into something white sort of reminds you come to earth and cheese changes every day this is fresh christmas ali a week from now it will taste completely different because it will have matured to us who had it come to a proof so yes we feel these cheeses are special because there are little treasures . to program these zero zero zero zero. zero today is market day and turned to the nearby provincial capital. too often sells for cheese products here. but i set out to kick where i think would be cheapie did you know i try to meet the highest organic
9:44 pm
standards so i only sell my cheese in this region. yes it just makes sense to consume local food locally. so i've had several requests to ship cheese to other locations but i won't do it. for myself my cheese here at the local market and at the dairy. people who want to buy it should come here. and enjoy a vacation at the same time. and my. two earns a good living by selling her cheese and she invests the profits in new projects. for example she recently started a line of natural cosmetics made with goat's milk. tourists who travel to the bali demo caney are also welcome to visit the farm and spend a day with the goats. i mean. we often organize guided tours entire families come here to see the pasture area. it's instructive for the
9:45 pm
children because they learn where the cheese that they enjoy at home actually comes from. i value this type of direct relationship between the producer and the consumer. in. just the time to see the i use a lot of gestures to get the goats to do what i want. for example when i get to a good pasture and i want them to sit with. a lot i do this like pay back but what little. mind. do you and i get to speak the same language. and i get to. choose from ethiopia from. my right what about when you talk to the goats. he speaks italian to them earlier on the move but i don't.
9:46 pm
she see yeah i like it when you mix people from different cultures that way you get to know each other. people learn not to be afraid of each other to worship when you would i enjoy interacting with people and getting to know them. to lives in the former priests residence in the village. today she's going to meet the local mayor bruno grove. the mayor uses e.u. funding to reclaim abandoned pastures that again too would like for her goats to graze on. the fifty m. for it to take will be cut down all of the red spruce trees over there and some of
9:47 pm
the launch is too much for the i want because that will create some nice open space and a really good pasture. before and was composed of say this is so so pretty out but if you can see how the undergrowth really opens up here. exactly. the remote valley demo caney has felt the effects of roll the population. of it i think it really says now mayor graff is trying to turn the tide by developing innovative agricultural projects. we used to have four to five thousand people in the valley. you know now it's just two thousand i think in the one nine hundred seventy s. and eighty's the politicians urged people to move to the cities to work in the factory. so a lot of people did. that also. and that led to things not
9:48 pm
being maintained land a sharp decline in local events and cultural life in general here. they act if we're trying to reverse that trend by recreating the kind of life that our ancestors you know. we've had some success with that. we go to for instance who came to us like a bolt out of the blue. so you know we hope that she'll be able to inspire some of the local young people right now there aren't a lot of job opportunities for them here. but. she's a real asset for our community between these two and we glad that she's here but. i think what we hope that she can serve as an engine that will help to drive the
9:49 pm
local economy. up on subpoenaing come to miami to. get to has big plans for the building housing her dairy. it was built thirty years ago as a kindergarten but it was never used because so many people had moved away. to wants to expand the dairy and to convert the top floor into guest rooms for tourists. there's a lot of room up there and i want to put it to good use. if you could out. but our project will be but this will be a huge project from an economic point of view. and i can't do it by myself. because i don't want to take on too much debt. so i came up with the idea of having visitors pay for their stay in advance. then they can come to the village and spend
9:50 pm
some time here so they get to know us. and they participate in this project we all should she. says been it's. ok to has had to wade through a lot of red tape to move ahead with the guest house project plus some local officials are skeptical about the community driven financing proposal. and there's another problem. packs of wolves have moved into the area. they've already killed a number of sheep in cabs in a nearby valley. the return of these wars is a very sensitive topic right now it's become politicized too. it's
9:51 pm
a new problem for us and we'll definitely have to deal with it. i mean put out if. you're going to. put it to believe there's room for all kinds of animals here. farmers can't have a monopoly on the land and simply get rid of the wolves. just doing it i think we should take a look at managing wolf reproduction. otherwise they'll multiply like wild dogs or feral cats. who doesn't want to put her goats behind the security fences recommended by the e.u. because then the animals would have less space to wander. she came up with an eye. turnitin solution. is to speak to the people do we use an alarm system that includes firecrackers and a timer sheep are there or you mean every night starting at ten a firecracker goes off every half hour. when the wolves hear that noise they think
9:52 pm
there are people around and they stay away from people it's worked so far and we hope it will continue to work employed through. just so in the summer of two thousand and eighteen after a right wing populist party joined italy's new coalition government there was an increase in attacks on immigrants a key to who remains invested in politics is very worried about this development. you seem to be one of us and i'm going to my own i'm a successful business woman and i stick to a close circle of friends here so it doesn't affect me personally. i haven't heard any racist remarks or experienced any discrimination. but overall the political climate in italy is pretty worrying. just with our interior minister spouts ridiculous claims about immigrants all day long. so some people feel they know have the right to attack people who have
9:53 pm
a different skin color than was bought out today but it's a. beautiful little but i'm not afraid for myself but we have to take a clear stand against this. flooding in ethiopia my grandparents used pitchforks to fight the italian fascist invaders. but the current generation of italian seems to a falling asleep. we have to make our voices heard and put a stop to this before it spreads further. id to believe that farming could offer job opportunities for refugees throughout europe. mean to i'm beyond will to tell you to abandon our we have a lot of land that we don't use and a lot of unemployed young people they're just sitting around doing nothing. for me you know but the politicians have no vision no. they don't see these young people
9:54 pm
are a valuable resource. they have skills stamina and they want to work under that i mean do not cut but she telling. the friday. so why not create environmentally sustainable projects in deserted rural areas like this one. they need to be thawed e o h i thought i know but not everyone wants to live in remote parts of the country south korea is happy to be here and do a found a good job but when he arrived in italy he had other plans. you know what do they need. that i don't know and so my future in italy is still and so. the first thing i wanted to do when i got here was to go to school and learn something so they will i still do. because if. i say we live or live but right now i don't have the time.
9:55 pm
if you say we have to leave that to you as a career have you seen these berries this red fruit. so i mean the little balls but when they taste great they're in season right now there are strawberries and raspberries too. and they. all speak to me seem to be on pupil but i don't feel like a guest here absolutely not. i feel right at home with us and i get along well with the local residents i haven't had any trouble at all i'm supposed. to prove you know and there was something still when i realised my presence must be a little invasive since i don't come alone. and i think i come with my entire herd through some. mom and yeah ok let's go. to. the.
