Overview
Be part of the screening of Kenyan documentary ‘Our Land, Our Freedom’ on 29th January. The film tells the story of 2 extraordinary Kenyan women - a mother and daughter, Mukami and Wanjugu Kimathi - who share a mission to shine a light on the too-long-kept secret atrocities of British colonial rule in Kenya. After the legendary freedom fighter, Dedan Kimathi, was hanged by the British colonial regime in 1957 for leading Kenya’s 1950s independence struggle, they secretly dumped his body. Now, his daughter, Wanjugu, joins her mother’s decades long quest, searching for his remains.
We shall have a discussion and Q&A session following the screening with the filmmaker(s).
Free Entry.
