A CLIMATE FOR CONFLICT is a vérité documentary short that tells the story of Somalis surviving in a place transformed by climate change and environmental degradation, and the impossible choices they must make. Meet the father who didn’t flee civil war, but fled the drought. The fisherman pushed into piracy by empty nets in a depleted, lawless sea. And the nomad who goes to war over increasingly scarce pasture and water.
