"SOMETHING NECESSARY is a film about a pivotal period in the life of Anne, a woman struggling to rebuild her life after the civil unrest that swept Kenya following the 2007 elections, claiming the life of her husband [and] the health of her son and leaving her isolated farm in ruins. Joseph, a troubled young gang member who participated in the countrywide violence, is drawn to Anne and her farm seemingly in search of redemption.
