THE BATTLE FOR LAIKIPIA

NYC PREMIERE A prescient and urgent documentary that shows how climate change can directly lead to conflict; when resources dwindle, battles arise. In Laikipia, Kenya, the ranchers, mostly white descendants of British colonizers, and local nomadic pastoralists find themselves adrift when drought hits the land they share. Tensions that have been kept at bay for generations resurface and strife brews. With clear-eyed rigor, this film delivers a call to action for sustainability worldwide. – Murtada Elfadl
