Turkana is an arid and semi-arid district of north-west Kenya. This film is based on time spent living with families across Turkana, hearing from them who they are and how they live. Nomadic or semi-nomadic pastoralists, they tell stories, share myths and explain their distinct beliefs and practices. But they also speak of new weather patterns that are disturbing things: rain which used to fall in familiar cycles has stopped. This is changing their relationships with the environment that has always been familiar, the God they feel is responsible, and outsiders who bring aid that challenges their self-reliance. Some are angry and pessimistic, while others display determined adaptability and a fierce conviction that they will find solutions, as they always have done.
