Contents Summary
A documentary about the famine ravaging Kenya, with a focus on the pastoralist community in Kajiado. The film follows a group of Maasai as they migrate with their cattle to seek pasture in distant territory - which means trekking over 400 km. While traveling, some die - like their livestock - of disease, but it is a trek they have to make if the animals are to survive. If the cattle survive then the people and the tribe will survive. Some women who stay at home lose both the cattle and their husbands. For them life is even harder – a life in debt and at the mercy of others. In some cases, entire families decided to embark on this journey, because the situation compels them to do so. They become uprooted. Parents are forced to deprive their children of a stable home and education. But choosing not to migrate might endanger their existence. So is migration really a choice?
