The Battle for Laikipia

A Storyville documentary, shot over several years in one of Africa鈥檚 most famous conservation areas, that charts mounting tensions between the Samburu people and fourth-generation European settlers.

Shot over several years, the Battle for Laikipia charts the relationship between the Samburu people, a nomadic pastoralist community that has always grazed cattle and goats on the land, and the third and fourth-generation European settlers who own ranches and conservancies in the region.
