Short Documentary
This short documentary, produced by Goshen College students, tells the story of the Maasai people of Kenya and their shift to settled life.
In the Ngong hills at the edge of the Great Rift Valley the traditional Maasai people struggle for food and water security. Efforts are being made to transition these tribes from their traditional pastoral ways to crop farming and livestock rearing. This community is helped and supported by the local Maasai Integrated Development Initiative (MIDI), Mennonite Central Committee and Foods Resource Bank (FRB). In May of 2014 students and faculty from Goshen College traveled with FRB staff members to Kenya to learn, film and record the stories of these self help communities who FRB supports. Goshen College and FiveCore Media Students finished the documentary.
