Dhaqan Collective and Watershed invite you to a free screening that shares powerful stories at the intersection of climate and migration.

Dead As A Dodo 2022, 5 mins, dir. Leena Habiballa

An experimental short film that reimagines the extinction of the dodo to examine how colonialism, science, and ecological loss intertwine.

Thank You For The Rain 2017, 87 mins, dir. Julia Dahr

This powerful documentary follows Kisilu Musya, a Kenyan farmer who begins filming his daily life to show the real impacts of climate change on his community. Over five years, his story evolves from local struggle to global activism as he journeys to the UN climate talks in Paris. The film captures the personal toll of changing weather patterns while exposing the deep inequalities that shape who is heard (and who is not) in global climate debates.
