    A warm and yet stark reflection on the impact of climate change on the world’s most vulnerable people. A unique insight into the effects of climate change at ground level. A charming documentary that touches the heart and gives encouragement to all who care about the planet we call home.

    Not only gives us a face from the frontline of the fight against climate change, it also allows them to speak in their own words. [...] The human face Kisilu provides makes it more hard hitting than many previous documentaries.

    Finite: The Climate of Change review – powerful case against climate crisis fatigue

    This is why, for me, Finite is by far the best climate film I’ve seen since Naomi Klein’s This Changes Everything (2015), which covered various climate campaigns around the world – and made a clear call for ‘Blockadia’, or direct action, as an essential part of the struggle against the dirty energy companies and governments which are driving this planet towards catastrophic global heating.

    Dahr never loses sight of her character’s strength and spirit, though, and Thank You for the Rain emphasises how one individual can help change the world through education. Teaching others about global warming, Musya is a role model to which others should aspire. Thank You for the Rain is an inspiring portrait of individual who knows that if one loves this planet, one must do all one can to save it.

    A look not only at the effects of climate change, but of the dedication it takes to be an activist and family man at the same time [...] an impassioned plea for climate change action.

    Decades of climate change debate can’t top the sobering sight of Kisilu Musya’s Kenyan farm first scorched by relentless sun and then drowned by flash floods. Determined to save both his home and the planet, he becomes a latter-day Johnny Appleseed, spreading the gospel of tree planting far and wide, including a Paris environmental summit. Good intentions take a toll in this astutely human film: Kisilu grapples with setbacks, disillusionment and a wife and brood of children back home who seriously miss him.

    ’Thank You for the Rain’ er en langsom og oplysende film om dem – og lavet delvist af dem – som er lidt mindre heldige end vi andre med at være født, hvor de er. Om håb, uretfærdighed og kamp for overlevelse. Om storpolitik i en verden, der på alle måder ligger meget meget langt fra Kisilu Musyas landsby. Men det er også en film om et gåpåmod så lynende skarpt som en cutlass, der skærer sig igennem kassavaplantens rødder og en morale om aldrig, aldrig, aldrig at give op.

    “This beautifully shot film opens the doors to the interior worlds of FHK and Daphne Henrion. By capturing their working and domestic circumstances, we are taken into the inner sanctum of two people who both inspired and reflected the key aesthetic trends of mid-20th century Britain.”

    “Ayouni” takes its title from the Arabic word “my eyes,” which is both a term of endearment and in this case also a reference to the burden of bearing witness when the rest of the world has turned its eyes away.
