The 75-minute documentary film "Shepherds of the Earth", by Iiris Härmä, reflects upon the multiple dimensions of the conservation research that the team has been undertaking during the past 5 years in the remote north-eastern shores of Lake Turkana (North Kenya). It documents richly their intimate field-based encounters with the Daasanach community. It follows steps of the team as they strive to understand Daasanach community complex relations with local wildlife. Although the film raises more questions than brings answers, Iiris Härmä has the talent to convey - with her script and images - many of the experiences we, as field-based conservation researchers, go through during extensive, exhaustive, and enriching field seasons.Sepherds-of-the-earth-press-kit.pdf (guerillafilms.fi)
