Our Land, Our Freedom

Our Land, Our Freedom tells the story of Wanjugu, a powerful Kenyan woman’s search for her father’s remains. Her father, Dedan Kimathi, was the leader of the 1950s Kenyan Independence Movement, who was hanged by the British, his body disposed of anonymously. Searching for his father’s remains, Wanjugu soon learns of a buried history of British colonial atrocities, including concentration camps, mass graves, and the massive theft of land that left hundreds thousands of Kenyans destitute. Her personal mission expands, and she transforms into a powerful advocate, exposing colonial brutality while building a nation-wide grassroots movement for land resettlement.
