“Shifting Power” provides an intimate lens into the lives of African Communities, whose existence and futures are being reshaped by the oil and gas boom. The documentary positions itself not merely as an observer, but as a narrative woven from the fabric of the affected communities, offering a humanising perspective on the socio-economic and environmental upheavals they face. The 5 main characters guide us to discover the current situation in their countries: Uganda, Senegal, Kenya, Nigeria and Cameroon. This film portrays their personal stories, interwoven with the relentless challenges and remarkable triumphs they face in combating the climate crisis—a crisis not of their making. Each character leads us with courage and an unyielding spirit, revealing the profound impact of their efforts in working with their communities. From navigating daily hardships to spearheading grassroots movements, these individuals are beacons of hope and agents of change.
