Summary This short documentary is the innovative and collaborative creation of a group of Kenyan Maasai pastoralists, illustrating how they perceive climate change and other socioeconomic and environmental changes. The Maasai filmmakers directed, storyboarded, shot and edited it in September 2011, in the Maasai Mara, after receiving a short training in video production. With humor, the Maasai filmmakers tell multiple stories of environmental changes and related coping strategies from their perspective, in their own voice; and show that the story is bigger than just climate change. There is also land privatization and unregulated tourism, which also affect herding and the capacity to cope with climatic changes. Pastoralists feel, recognize and cope with these interconnected transformations, and use video to communicate their concerns to a broader audience. View more details
