Kisilu, a Kenyan farmer, uses his camera to capture the life of his family, his village and the damages of climate change. When a storm destroys his house, Kisilu works to building a community movement of farmers fighting the impacts of extreme weather. He brings this message of hope all the way to the United Nations Climate Talks in Paris. Here, amid the murky cut and thrust of politics at the biggest environmental show on earth, Kisilu and Norwegian filmmaker Julia Dahr’s relationship takes on a remarkable twist, shedding a powerful light on the nature of the climate justice movement and the vastly different worlds they represent. Programmed as part of Cleveland Climate Week.
