This compelling human portrait asks what the future holds when clear evidence of climate change presents itself and the most powerful politicians in the world choose to do nothing. [...] An inspiring portrait of individual who knows that if one loves this planet, one must do all one can to save it. POV Magazine, 26 April 2017.

Good intentions take a toll in this astutely human film: Kisilu grapples with setbacks, disillusionment and a wife and brood of children back home who seriously miss him. The Toronto Star, 23 April 2017.

As a climate change researcher, I found Julia Dahr's film a must-see documentary. Sheffield Hallam University, 14 June 2017.

A look not only at the effects of climate change, but of the dedication it takes to be an activist and family man at the same time [...] An impassioned plea for climate change action. Toronto Film Scene, 25 April 2017.

A charming documentary that touches the heart and gives encouragement to all who care about the planet we call home. Miro Magazine, 7 November 2017.

It not only gives us a face from the frontline of the fight against climate change, it also allows them to speak in their own words. [...] The human face Kisilu provides makes it more hard hitting than many previous documentaries. Vulturehound, 17 November 2017.

That is exactly what makes 'Thank You for the Rain' so strong: the contrast between political choices on the one hand and their consequences on the other. Add the captivating character of Kisilu and you have a very strong film that convinces without being too preachy. Cinemagazine, 2018.

A compelling, engaging, and complex portrait of an environmental activist. African Studies Review, September 2018.
