Watch Online / The People the Rain Forgot (2011)
Desc: The People the Rain Forgot: Directed by Sophia Tewa. With Joseph Walker. The People the Rain Forgot is the story of how climate change and drought has ravaged the livelihoods of millions in Kenya. The documentary follows the country's farmers and nomads as they grapple with land that will no longer feed their families. It's been four years since northern Kenyans haven't had sufficient rain to sustain their livestock and crops. Some wonder whether God is punishing them for their failure to properly steward the land. This film shows that the results of climate change are manifest right now from the border of Ethiopia to the margins of Somalia. But many are fighting back against a force they did not create and find the courage to try and make the rain fall again.
