Death of Darkness plot

For years the Samburu, nomadic herders in northern Kenya, lived under power pylons that supply cities with electricity. An existence in the sign of sun and moon. Now they too are included in the major global changes. Fires in the night make way for a connection to the mains. Electric light can keep predators at bay at night, and that's just the beginning. Images of a way of life at a turning point that confront the Samburu with feelings of loss and melancholy as well as look to the future with anticipation.
