A young shepherd comes of age a community where climate change is provoking tribal warfare
If you are looking for proof of the ravages of climate change, then look no further than this astonishing documentary set in Eastern Kenya, where the droughts, coupled with hotter temperatures, are destroying the farming communities that live there. We follow two brothers, Kole and Patrick who are both trying to survive in the face of dwindling resources which have resulted in theft and armed territorial disputes among neighbouring tribes. As Kole endures some gruelling rite of passage rituals, he has some big choices to make about his future.
Winner of best documentary and cinematography at Tribeca, it features stunning, powerfully symbolic wildlife photography and captures traditions and lifestyles that are rapidly disappearing. The tribe’s spiritual belief that “Nature is a vindictive beast, the only thing worthy of fear” proving to be spot on
