Synopsis
Available in Docs for Sale after the world premiere at IDFA.
From 1885-1963 the British ruled Kenya and inflicted a regime of violence that saw Kenyans kicked off their land and enslaved. In 1963, the country won its independence, but the majority of the population did not see their land returned. Now, people want justice. Not just for past colonial atrocities. They want to reclaim their history. And their land. One woman, Wanjugu Kimathi, is leading this fight. Testament tells her story.
