A Dying Culture

Karamoja subregion in Uganda is characterized by harsh climatic conditions ranging from frequent droughts to high temperatures, with hot and dry winds all year round. Lately, the area has been experiencing particularly erratic rains across its nine districts.
This shift in weather seasons is disrupting the traditional lifestyle of cattle keepers, especially the pastoralist majority who, for generations, have relied on livestock as their main source of subsistence. Short scattered torrential rains have also increased soil erosion and land degradation, which has contributed to poor harvests and food insecurity.
This documentary by Shemei Agabo explores how Uganda’s last remaining pastoralist communities are transitioning from pastoralism to farming as pastures and food become scarce.
