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. \n\nFilmed at a time of severe drought in one of Africa’s most famous conservation areas, pressure mounts on both sides, and unresolved historical tensions result in conflict.
