Thank You for The Rain is a collaborative film by Kisilu Musya, a Kenyan farmer and Julia Dahr, a Norwegian filmmaker. For five years Kisilu used his camera to capture the life of his family, his village and the impacts of climate change. He filmed floods, droughts and storms but also the real human costs of the crisis. During one violent storm that throws him and Julia together, Kisilu loses his home. The film then follows him as he starts building a community-based movement of farmers fighting the impacts of extreme weather.
