Umoja, le village interdit aux hommes
Jean-Marc Sainclair, Jean Crousillac
2008 - 52 min - Mini DV - Couleur - France

From 1970 to 2003, about 1,600 women said they have been raped by British soldiers in Northern Kenya. Husbands felt dishonoured and rejected their wives after beating them. A few women gathered and created Umoja, a village forbidden to men. Jealous men frequently attack Umoja and create many problems to Rebecca Lolosoli, founder of the village.
