From 1885–1963 the British ruled Kenya and inflicted a regime of violence that saw Kenyans kicked off their land and forced into labor. As resistance grew in the 1950’s, the British threw over a million Kenyans into concentration camps, torturing and killing thousands. In 1963, Kenya won its independence, but the majority of the population did not see their land returned—a situation that persists today. 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. Our Land, Our Freedom tells her story.
