Filmmaking as an act of protest
Panelconversation with the directors of 'Kikuyu Land', Andrew H. Brown and Bea Wangondu.
In the highlands of Kenya, journalist Bea returns home from Nairobi to her childhood home to cover a lawsuit against the local government and a multinational corporation, brought by displaced indigenous landowners. While whistleblowers help uncover the layers of a neocolonial system and offer answers to unsolved crimes, hidden wounds and family secrets are revealed.
Afterwards, you can meet the film’s directors, Bea Wangondu and Andrew H. Brown, in a conversation about the process of making this film and how film can be used as an act of protest. The conversation will be moderated by Moussa Mchangama, Senior Advisor & Co-founder of InFuturm.
This conversation is presented in collaboration with Africa Engage, an initiative which enhances professional cooperation with the African continent & better insight into the continent through film, by curation and hosting events at CPH:DOX. This is made possible thanks to Open, Bullitt Film, Steps and Film Lab Zanzibar.
