"With its languid pace, Between the Rains affords the audience an immersive experience into a land few people know much about." — Murtada Elfadl, Variety
"Through its focus on one young member of the nomadic Turkana community, this sharp documentary makes clear the personal cost of this global issue through lived experience." — Nikki Baughan, Screen International
