Dead Donkeys Fear No Hyenas

About This Movie

Dead Donkeys Fear No Hyenas is this raw, eye-opening documentary that digs deep into the complex issues of land grabbing in Ethiopia. The atmosphere is heavy, almost suffocating at times, as it exposes the darker side of government deals and foreign investments. The pacing feels deliberate, allowing the viewer to absorb the weight of its themes—greed, displacement, and the dire consequences on local communities. There’s a starkness to the visuals, capturing both the beauty and the tragedy of the land. It’s distinct in its approach, combining interviews and on-the-ground footage that brings a real urgency to the narrative. You can feel the tension in the voices of those affected, which really sticks with you after the credits roll.
