Algeria, South Africa, and Kenya
    Part of
  • FilmAfrica
  • and
  • BAM Film 2026
Directed by Boima Tucker (2025)
Across Algeria, South Africa, and Kenya, communities and refugee camps confront the realities of the global energy transition. Stories of resistance to fossil fuel extraction on indigenous land, the unequal distribution of energy infrastructure in cities, and grassroots struggles for self-determination in resource-exploited regions intertwine to reveal the human stakes of energy policy. Together, these perspectives illuminate the broader political, environmental, and social challenges shaping Africa in the green energy transition.

Followed by a Q&A with director Boima Tucker
