Maasai at the Crossroads, directed by Kristin Jordan & Joe Dietsch and narrated by Dr. Calestous Juma, takes viewers on a stunning journey into the heart of East Kenya, where they are granted unprecedented access to the Maasai. The filmmakers provide an insightful glimpse into the culture of one of the last remaining traditional people in Africa. The film documents intimate discussions of ancient Maasai customs, including the controversial traditional practice of female circumcision, and captures the Maasai’s struggle to survive in the midst of Kenya’s worst drought in 15 years. Maasai at the Crossroads explores a community’s efforts to come to together, not only to survive, but to preserve cherished traditions as they learn how to thrive in the 21st century. |
