Our Land, Our Freedom

Our Land, Our Freedom tells the story of two extraordinary Kenyan women, a mother and daughter, Mukami and Wanjugu, who share a mission to investigate the crimes under British colonial rule in Kenya. Mukami was a freedom fighter in the Kenyan independence movement in the 1950s, and was married to its iconic leader, Dedan Kimathi. In 1957, Kimathi was hanged by the British, his body left anonymously. Since then, Mukami has been searching for Kimathi's remains, but no longer has the strength to continue. Her daughter, Wanjugu, determined to fulfil her mother's last wishes, takes up this quest. Along her journey, Wanjugu uncovers a buried history of colonial atrocities, including concentration camps, mass graves and the vast land plunder that left hundreds of thousands of Kenyans destitute.
