The Battle for Laikipia
12A
Why watch?
“As a drought - caused by centuries of environmental neglect and plunder - forces the Sambura people to confront fourth generation European settlers who have inherited their ancestral grazing lands, one question becomes impossible to ignore: Is there any aspect of life untouched by colonialism? This gripping documentary lays bare the enduring consequences of settler colonialism and how climate change can exacerbate historical injustices. This film is a must-watch not only for those interested in the effects of climate change but for anyone concerned with justice for Indigenous communities and all people.”

Unresolved historical injustices and a devastating drought raise the stakes in a generations-old conflict between indigenous farmers and white landowners in Laikipia, Kenya, a wildlife conservation haven.
This screening is a talk-along event in which you are invited to speak during the screening if you feel comfortable. After the screening, there will be an informal discussion and Q&A, hosted by the Racial Justice Network with Director of the film, Pete Murimi.
