This film takes an intimate look at how geo-political, economic and climate forces are shaping a generation of Ethiopians.

A hypnotic immersion in the world of Harar, Ethiopia, where khat, a euphoria-inducing plant, holds sway over the rituals and rhythms of everyday life, Faya Dayi captures moments in the lives of everyone from the harvesters of the crop to people lost in its narcotic haze to a desperate but determined younger generation searching for an escape from political strife. POV "Faya Dayi" airs Monday, August 29 at 9 p.m. on WXXI-TV.
