The Battle of Laikipia paints a panorama of an escalating conflict in the heart of Kenya: on the Laikipia plateau, nomadic Samburu pastoralists and white landowners have been confronting each other for decades – a legacy of colonial land grabbing that is now being reignited by apocalyptic droughts and disputed water and grazing rights. The film documents how a dangerous dynamic is emerging in the grass-poor plains: Herds are led onto irrigated, fenced-off ranches and armed confrontations escalate.

After the film, there will be a discussion with Edwin Mutyenyoka of the Arnold-Bergstraesser-Institute.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
