This event forms part of the 2021 STAND Student Festival. The Festival is run by students, for students, to raise awareness about the burning issues shaping the world around us.

This year, we’re celebrating our collective resilience in the face of global challenges. From the fight for climate justice to social inclusion, gender equality to mental health, this year’s #RISEUP Exhibition puts stories of hope, determination, and resilience centre-stage.

Five years ago Kisilu, a Kenyan farmer, started to use his camera to capture the life of his family, his village and the damages of climate change. When a violent storm throws him and a Norwegian filmmaker together we see him transform from a father to community leader to an activist on the global stage.

Following the online screening, there will be a discussion with Kisilu.

Thank You For The Rain addresses a range of issues linked to climate change, including climate justice, urbanisation, gender equality, education, access to water, climate refugees, and adaptation.
