Director Statement

Just like the rest of the world, the nomads of Turkana have also been affected by the adverse effects of climate change.
I chose to direct this documentary film from my hometown so that the global community gets to see my side of the world which is often underrepresented.
While watching this film, the viewer will get to experience the daily lives of the Turkana nomadic pastoralists and understand how climate change affects them economically and socially.
