About the event
In the drought-stricken Laikipia region of Kenya, a tense and tangled conflict unfolds between Indigenous Samburu herders and white landowners. As climate impacts intensify and political tensions rise, long-standing inequalities erupt into violence. The Battle for Laikipia is a gripping and deeply human story of land, legacy, and resistance; exploring colonial history, ecological crisis, and what it means to fight for justice on contested ground.
