About the Film
Set in a Kenyan conservancy facing extreme drought, Searching for Amani follows a 13-year-old’s pursuit of truth as he uncovers the invisible forces of climate change threatening his home and future. What begins as a young aspiring journalist’s search for answers to his father’s death becomes a powerful coming-of-age story.
