DOC NYC Capsule Reviews : MOTHERS OF CHIBOK and THE BATTLE FOR LAIKIPIA


MOTHERS OF CHIBOK
The mother of the Nigerian village of Chibok  mourn the loss of the daughters taken by Boko Haram and try to go on. 

Solid portrait of shattered lives that gives us a view of the story beyond what the news crews show. Sure, we hear of the kidnapping but what does that mean we never know, until now.  This is an eye opening film and one that should be seen.



THE BATTLE FOR LAIKIPIA
The battle in Kenya over water and land rights in the wake of on going drought. The farmers and herders need the land and water and the ranchers don't want to give up what little they have. Can a solution be worked out.

A complex and an increasing important issue is put into sharp focus. Wonderfully fair to both sides of the issue we get a sense of what is possible and what will have to be done in the future.

Worth a look
