A severe dry spell in Kenya’s northern rangelands is rapidly consuming the livelihoods of inhabitants as natural resources become scarcer. This has resulted into frequent deadly conflicts amongst pastoralist communities.
At a time when the world is facing increased environmental degradation, human activities take the lion’s share of the blame. This documentary gives an informed and detailed insight of such activities in one of a unique yet neglected natural lake, which is a sanctuary to some of the most rare bird species in Kenya. The lake and its ecosystem are facing extinction if human activities continue.
For over 200 years, the South Sudanese have known two words: war and plunder, centuries of enslavement by Northern Sudan and Egypt, colonisation and deliberate under-development by the British and a further half a century of turmoil post the greater Sudan's independence from Britain in 1956. Since 2013, the South Sudanese have picked arms and gone to war against each other.
This first episode of "Kanjo Kingdom" begins an in-depth investigation into an extortion ring ran by officers from Nairobi City County's notorious Inspectorate department. Every month, officers from this department fleece hundreds of thousands of hawkers and informal traders of up to one million dollars.
It is becoming clear that Kenya's food system is broken. Just how broken? For almost a year, we went out and about finding out what ails Kenya's food system.
The documentary is at the heart of a system of broken politics and shattered lives. A story that we hope, will spark the conversations that will help us build a new Kenya. Watch the documentary, but go beyond that; confront the uncomfortable truths about tribalism in your own way.
