Movie goers support African village

(01:45) Report

Oct.15 - An African eco village in South Africa's wine region receives funding from a surprising source.

Lynedoch eco village is a small hamlet in the heart of South Africa's Cape Winelands.

It's been designed so that people from mixed social backgrounds can come together to live and work in a sustainable community.

The village makes its own power and has a water reclycling plant, organic gardens, a primary school and several business units.

Funding comes from a local winery, government grants and surprisingly a cinema in London.

Hayley Platt reports.
