In Laikipia, a nature reserve in Kenya, there is a long-running conflict between nomadic herders and white landowners.

The historical injustices that originated in the colonial era and have yet to be resolved are being greatly exacerbated by climate change, as increasing drought has devastating effects on the vegetation. The indigenous Samburu are finding it increasingly difficult to find grazing land for their livestock. They are moving into the well-watered pastures of the white landowners, who have fenced off their thousands of hectares. There used to be enough grass for both herders and landowners, but now the drought is leading to direct confrontation. Machine guns against spears.

The film describes the challenge of an African country between post-colonialism and climate change.
