Where Lions Once Were (Emily Baker, Bonifus Mbogo / Kenya / 14 min / Multiple Languages / 2026)

The sanctity of the ‘Eden’ caves of Kenya

The Chonyi sub-tribe have been living in harmony with the Cha Simba caves and its natural inhabitants. The film is a portrayal of this intimacy that is hindered by a cement factory, trying to invade their homeland. Millicent and her family spotlight this reality of Kenya and the world.

At ALT EFF 2026, we are meeting the times.
When the world feels like it is coming apart, we look to art as witness, joy as resistance, and cinema as a way home to each other.

This film is one of many stories we are bringing together this year at the All Living Things Environmental Film Festival, December 3 to 13, 2026.

Catch in-person screenings at our flagship events:
• Mumbai: December 4 to 6, Nehru Science Centre
• Ahmedabad: December 10 to 13, UKBB & CEPT University
