Synopsis
Kikuyu Land While investigating a local man’s civil petition against the British Crown and Kenya’s global tea industry, Nairobi journalist Bea Wangondu stumbles upon her own family’s concealed secrets, pushing her to peel back the layers of Kenya’s colonial legacy. Colonialism stripped Kikuyu communities of the family land central to their cultural identity, leaving many to labour on tea plantations under abusive conditions, on ancestral soil still owned by some of the world’s biggest corporations today. Challenging the powers that be is a dangerous David and Goliath struggle, and for the younger generations growing up on the plantations, avoiding a life of servitude is almost impossible. As echoes of the past refuse to stay buried, Bea goes deeper into a murky world of hidden evidence and untold wounds.
