Kenya, the second tallest peak in Africa, is home to Ngai, the local water god that is said to created the rains. As a result, Ngai and the mountain provide 70% of the nation's water supply, fed by glaciers and annual storms that eddy around this looming rock island. Pete McBride climbed its false summit with his family when he was 9 years old. Returning in 2012 with a group of climbers, he noticed something frightening.

Kenya's foot hills, The Water Tower, is equal parts travel, advocacy and adventure film. Written by Anonymous See less
