Murtada Elfadl “The Battle for Laikipia” offers a prescient perspective by focusing on the communities that are living with the consequences of climate change right now: the ranchers and pastoralists of Laikipia, located on the equator in Kenya. These people, their cattle, their farms — their means of life — have been dealing with drought. Over a period of approximately two years, the documentary’s directors Daphne Matziaraki and Peter Murimi show how climate change can directly resurface tensions that have been kept at bay for generations.
When resources dwindle, battles arise. The framework for the feature is how colonialism still manages to impact indigenous people many years after their nations were granted independence. Many Brits migrated to Kenya during the time of the empire; their descendants still live there and own much of the land in Laikipia.
The region is also home to many indigenous, semi-nomadic people who raise cattle. “The Battle for Laikipia” follows a few white families who have lived in the area for four generations, as well as a few members of the Samburu people. The doc establishes that the groups co-existed peacefully for many years, though they remained suspicious of each other.
Now gripped by a drought, all of them find themselves in direct competition. While any climate change documentary carries a certain urgency, Matziaraki and Murimi remain methodical and patient in their filmmaking. Their camera’s gaze captures the terrain, the people and the animals in extended shots that allow the space for the story to come alive.
