ALN Academy x DocuBox Screening: The Battle for Laikipia

​ALN Academy, DocuBox ,We Are Not The Machine, and One Story Up invite you to an exclusive screening event of the documentary The Battle for Laikipia, followed by a thought-provoking panel discussion on climate change. The screening will take place on Thursday, 25 September 2025, from 5:30 PM at ALN House, Off Eldama Ravine Close.

​The Battle for Laikipia is a deeply personal film that explores the intersection of climate change, unresolved historical injustices, and a generations-old conflict between indigenous pastoralists and white landowners in Kenya's Laikipia region, a world-famous wildlife conservation haven. Directed by Oscar-nominated Daphne Matziaraki and International Emmy-nominated Peter Murimi, and produced by PGA and Peabody-nominated Toni Kamau alongside multiple award-winning executive producers Roger Ross Williams and Geoff Martz, the film intimately follows key individuals on both sides over five years of filming since 2017. It captures the ravaging effects of prolonged drought, colliding with elections to spark conflict, while delving into themes of identity, the complicated legacy of British colonialism, and the global climate crisis during our planet's most fragile moment. The documentary premiered at the 2024 Sundance Film Festival and features observational footage, including personal phone recordings from the protagonists, providing an up-close perspective on this spiraling crisis.
