It is also home to white ranchers and conservationists, who settled there during the British colonial era and stayed on after Kenya&#8217;s independence in 1963. Since 2017, we have intimately filmed our characters as they confront a rapidly changing world. Laikipia has been feeling the ravaging effects of climate change for decades; the pastoralists, the ranchers and conservancies all rely on Laikipia&#8217;s grasslands to sustain their cattle and the wildlife. When drought and elections collide, conflict erupts. Our story goes beyond the headline-grabbing conflict. We explore identity, the complicated legacy of British colonialism, and their intersection with climate change &#8211; all this happening during the most fragile moment of our planet.
