Kikuyu Land

Woman with basket harvesting tea leaves on Kikuyu land

The legacy of colonization continues to dictate people’s lives, and in Kenya’s tea highlands, two stories unfold showcasing the fight to reclaim what history has taken. Mr. Mungai submits a claim to regain stolen family land, but that pits him against a mammoth conglomerate still operating on the land. Stephen is the child of a tea worker on the plantation in the center of dispute, and for him history is not a distant memory but an active force pressing on his present. 

Local producer Bea, is drawn to the escalating tension and uncovers suppressed truths and long-silenced voices. Blending documentary with lived memory, this haunting film is raw and honest as it explores themes of accountability, resilience, and the determination to confront the past.
