When film composer and multi-instrumentalist William Ryan Fritch got the call to work on the new Sundance documentary, “The Battle for Laikipia,” he remembers his first reaction. 20 to 24 cues in two and a half weeks. Wow. But after watching the film, it was a no-brainer. “I’ll figure out the how,” he said.
Co-directed by Daphne Matziaraki and Peter Murimi, “The Battle for Laikipia” follows the story of Indigenous pastoralists — farmers who breed and care for animals in the wildlife conservation haven of Laikipia, Kenya — as they struggle to overcome conflicts with landowners and the impact of colonialism.
“It’s just take-your-breath away, raw, arresting humanity, done so exquisitely well,” says Fritch.
Fritch says his admiration for the film’s crew made it an easy decision to join the sprint to finish the production in time for the 2024 Sundance Film Festival.
“I knew they were extraordinarily thoughtful, ethical documentarians,” says Fritch.

While the show has experienced a few hiccups trying to figure out this new format, Survivor seems to be finally hitting its stride in season 44. And according to Survivor 44 spoilers, the producers have realized that one classic twist is greatly needed in the game.

Since Survivor 41, the original tribal makeups have remained unchanged until the merge. Seasons 41, 42, and 43 all began with three tribes, and host Jeff Probst never asked the castaways to “drop their buffs.”
However, tribe switches have been around since the show’s early seasons, and it keeps the game fresh and exciting. So...
