"Filmmaker Kibaara Kaugi knows he has ventured into uncertain territory with Kenya's first home-grown movie about the Mau Mau, a divisive subject for Kenyans that still occupies an ambiguous place in their history. Kaugi's film about the forest fighters who launched an uprising against white colonists in Kenya in the 1950s was shot on a shoestring budget of one million Kenyan shillings ($12,290), with many of the cast and crew agreeing to work for nothing," Ross Colvin speaks with the filmmaker in Reuters.
