The Battle for Laikipia
12A

Special talk-along screening
Today · 18:00

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.
