Between the Rains

Between the Rains is a stunning portrait of a sensitive boy who must grow into a strong warrior, filmed over four consecutive years during a record low annual rainfall in northern Kenya. The film uses symbolism but manages to show a raw and authentic story.

 

The documentary combines a powerful narrative with breathtaking cinematography where the main characters are portrayed in a respectful manner, leading to an understanding of the traditions and challenges of the Turkana-Ngaremara people. This coming-of-age film attempts to portray the experiences of a child stuck in a traditional culture that is a victim of climate change.
