5:02 am
under so little scuppered that i left or escaped from africa i had to create a job for myself. a bit like a pioneer i guess. at the most she's proof that if there's a will there's a way. oh yeah. but. this is the village of frosty longo and the valet did more caney in the northern italian province of trentino. all the hockey to a dear 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. that the mother. i use of she could i mean things from when she first arrived
5:03 am
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. is in previous to four but she's very open and very honest. that it was from all the fire and i noticed over time people grew quite fond of these took it into them worked on one of the little sean initial much. more you know she's a very important part of the community now and i'm glad she's here to make it is she actually. the. senior didn't miss in a moment. part two sitting around in the muck again were you how dare you move that on that
5:04 am
last third value to nice girls don't do that thing. i. commend most of the credit card to go to days acarya ok. about one second he has suddenly landed one hundred eighty girlfriends oh yeah oh goats. oh no right just about. to burst lived in italy after graduating from high school when she got a scholarship and came to trento to study sociology at the university. then she went back to ethiopia. but return to italy and twenty ten this time as a political refugee and came up with the idea of starting a goat cheese business. game
5:05 am
yankee not the sort of us to be my ancestors were nomadic shepherds it's part of my family tradition. and i've worked on various projects that involved sustainable agriculture. a part of it most of those projects dealt with the medic shepherds. 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 and you know you get to know their character and the quality of their milk for young people . and that creates a strong bond. that after all your teeth you pray and. good luck. when i came back to italy i was impressed right away with all the open
5:06 am
green space. there was a lot of abandoned pasture land. that way and that's when i got the idea to start raising local breeds of goat like the protect american from the valet democracy. there were hardly any of them left at the time to use the bridge or to direct that oh it was the somebody there who can i started with fifteen goats now i have one hundred eighty that provide. so quite a herd for a lot through and you can do a little bit of killing it i through so i chose this indigenous breed because it adapts perfectly to the local environment and i wanted this project to be as authentic as possible. not to be topped out the in. that category yeah. let me say man what do you think of them. beautiful. beautiful so you've gotten
5:07 am
used to your surroundings. yes they have an idea is that the is that like going 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 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 know what i mean like you i know you want to be new and i love what i did when i knew my kids start working with animals at the age of five
5:08 am
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 and the hours are long but they can handle it if you come 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 surroundings and the goats are beautiful but that enthusiasm usually doesn't last long. 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 when i. got stops in. the valley the i'm ok ne has always been sparsely populated but in recent years
5:09 am
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 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. 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
5:10 am
peaceful protest against this practice but troops often turned up and fired at the demonstrators space so willing to be sports there for today maybe a lot of people were arrested. and some were tortured to do this by. 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 finally lifted in twenty eighteen but freedom of expression remains restricted and the use of torture in prisons is widespread. in response to. i stayed in that situation until two thousand and ten. then things got so dangerous that i basically had to leave overnight for my own safety. but.
5:11 am
you really i'll pass through fulton i thought i was really lucky because as an ex didn't i still had all my italian residence papers i still had 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 a pretty between the she joined me thinking the love yes yes the doubt to green men then little by little you pick yourself up and start over again but in the people in the lobby them the help that i was. 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.
5:12 am
so let's make. rubio love as a soft right bin cheese. lucky to explains that she refuses robi all the way in her cheese making process here. way is full of enzymes and they react with the milk. less and i. think. this mixture is left to coagulate and create kurds for twenty four hours. i always say you either like your work and you keep at it or you hate it in quite. the part to do have some cool see if who is who is that i took several courses on how to make cheese in france. and then i tried to figure out what people here might
5:13 am
like and you could choose a piastre you pursue because right now i make fifteen different kinds of cheese so i can meet varying tastes in fill lots of different orders from customers. and by the. cheese dairy is called the cops. or the happy goat. it's won several awards including one from 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 that. there are hardly any goats left unturned so i'm a pioneer when it comes to go cheese. you know he's from the here all the courses are focused on making cheese from cow's milk. or at least they were when i started
5:14 am
out about. it being delighted to have been the french are the best at making goats milk cheese. so i thought i'd better go right to the source. it would eat a lot of dough i love the. illusion of. the world of cheese making is rather special. you have something green that then gets turned into something white used for mind to 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 would it come to a proof so yes we feel least cheeses are special because there are little treasures . to grow grow there is zero zero zero zero zero zero zero zero zero zero zero zero . zero. zero.
5:15 am
zero. zero zero today is market day into the nearby provincial capital. i.q. too often sells for cheese products here. but i said i think equerry and. p. did go along i try to meet the highest organic standards so i only sell my cheese in this region. yes q 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 for my. you to earns
5:16 am
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 to mccain are also welcome to visit the farm and spend the day with the goats. can you tell me yeah we did we often organize guided tours entire families come here to see the pasture area. it's instructive for the children because they learn where the cheese that they enjoy at home actually comes from. she. values this type of direct relationship between the producer and the consumer. to. yes the time to see me do the i use a lot of gestures to get the goats to do what i want to do i do he will for example when i get to a good pasture and i got them and i want them to sit down with the kit we'll ever
5:17 am
know and i don't have a lot i do this work of pay back pay but where did it go when i get mine done. do you and i get to speak the same language well i know your bible being the law and i get to be. i don't know her she's from ethiopia i know i'm from my p.o.v. and with that my right what about when you talk to the goats when they're going to fire you speaks italian to them earlier on we can all move on but i don't you know i know. she's so 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.
5:18 am
to lives in the former priest's residence in the village of. today she's going to meet the local mayor bruno grove. the mayor uses a new funding to reclaim abandoned pastures that a gay too would like for her goats to graze on. the get together for to pick will be cut down all of the red spruce trees over there and some of the launches to my family i want to quote that will create some nice open space than a really good pasture. boy cafe this is so it's pretty up but if you can see how the undergrowth really opens up here. exactly. the remote valley day mccain he has felt the effects of rural the population. but.
5:19 am
it really stands now mayor groff is trying to turn the tide by developing innovative agricultural projects. we used to have forty five thousand people in the valley but that's in a body now it's just two thousand and forty in the nyquist 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. but often. and that led to things not being maintained land a sharp decline in local events and cultural life in general here or not you know. they're sort of off the way they act if we have 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
5:20 am
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 the show my glad that she's here but. i keep we hope that she can serve as an engine that will help to drive the local economy. up on top you know who to me. who 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
5:21 am
a lot of room up there and i want to put it to good use. could out. but all. 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 some time here so they get to know us. and they participate in this project or we should choose. there was the. system been. a key to his 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.
5:22 am
and there's another problem. packs of wolves have moved into the area. they've already killed a number of sheep and calves in a nearby valley. loop. the return of these wars is a very sensitive topic right now it's become politicized too. it's a new problem for us and we'll definitely have to deal with it. i mean part of. the usually back each response you put it to i believe there is room for all kinds of animals here. firms 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
5:23 am
feral cats. i mean the guy. 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. turn a deaf solution. to speech do we use an alarm system that includes firecrackers and a timer sheep are there for humans who ask every night starting at ten a firecracker goes off every half hour. when the wolves hear that noise they think there are people around and they stay away. that's worked so far and we hope it will continue to work implode through. just stay in the summer of twenty 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 see the boy that person i'm going to my house and i'm
5:24 am
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. and so some people feel they now have the right to attack people who have a different skin color than was bought up to the person in the. beautiful little but i'm not afraid for myself but we have to take a clear stand against this will hit forty in ethiopia my grandparents used pitchforks to fight the italian fascist invaders much. better. but the current generation of italian seems to have fallen asleep. but we have to make our voices heard and put a stop to this before it spreads further. id
5:25 am
to believe that farming could offer job opportunities for refugees throughout europe. i. mean that 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 are a valuable resource. they have skills stamina and they want to work under that i mean in a cup but she. defied it. so why not create environmentally sustainable projects in deserted rural areas like this one. that i know but not everyone wants to live in remote parts of the country south korea is
5:26 am
happy to be here and to have found a good job but when he arrived in italy he had other plans. you know with. what 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 it will i still do. i said we live on but right now i don't have the time. i research. 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 cue ball but i don't feel like
5:27 am
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. to prove you know and there was something still when i realized my presence must be a little invasive since i don't come alone in a person i think i come with my entire herd. mom and yeah ok let's go. to a what are you trying to do there hitch a ride. oh. no but see tomorrow.
