Nature needs a voice in Africa and so do the people whose lives depend on a healthy environment. That is the critical mission of Giving Nature a Voice. East Africa desperately needed a regular platform for locally produced environmental documentaries that would engage, illuminate and help reverse a dangerous trajectory. Now thanks to the young filmmakers we've trained and supported, that powerful message is reaching millions of Kenyans on prime time TV, and on international media platforms.​ Together we've produced over 50 award-winning documentaries on East Africa's most critical environmental crises. Seen in schools, museums and local communities, the films can help create the popular groundswell that will goad and inspire leaders of government, business and civil society to act, before it's too late.

  • S 1/ E 1- Water To Dust(25m)

    “Water to Dust” explores the threat faced by Africa’s largest desert lake, Lake Turkana. Its principal water source, the Omo River, has been dammed in neighbouring Ethiopia. If the lake dries up, hundreds of thousands of Kenyans will lose their livelihoods as fishermen. Cattle grazing, previously the main activity of pastoral tribes in the region, is now impossible because of spreading deserts and climate change. Will Kenya allow another Aral Sea disaster to happen?
