When the Water Ends
Directed by
East Africa, border between Kenya and Ethiopia. For centuries, the nomadic pastoral tribes of the area have relied on the two largest water resources in the region, the Omo River and Lake Turkana. However, the impact of global warming has profoundly changed their lives and the morphology of these places: decreased rainfall and long periods of drought have increasingly reduced the availability of water, leading to violent clashes among the local population. Evan Abramson, who spent more than two months among the region's tribal communities, documents one of the world's first conflicts caused by climate change.
