‘Thank You for the Rain’ Film Screening and Panel Discussion
Panelists:
Hilary Heath - CJRF’s Program Associate
Julia Dahr - Lead Filmmaker
Kisilu Musya - Co director and ‘star’
Description:
Thank you for the rain, highlights that those who have contributed the least to climate change, are often suffering the worst consequences of global warming. The film portrays the issues surrounding climate justice, as it tells the story of how a Kenyan farmer struggles because of the impacts of climate change. This same farmer, Kisilu helps mobilise his community to find solutions. His story has since been used as a springboard for policy advocacy as it provides an example of how a personal climate story grounded in unique experience can engage audiences and inspire action.
At this event, we will collectively watch the film, then there will be a discussion with the panelists and the audience.
