AFRICAN FILM FESTIVAL NEW ZEALAND

Synopsis

After the destruction of colonialism, Atharaka (those of Tharaka) are remembering the power of their identity by teaching the next generation, reviving customs and enabling nature to regenerate. Sacred sites are protected as potent places of the ancestors. All of this is “rethreading a complex bio-cultural system that brings balance, autonomy and joy.” The young ones know where they belong and who they are. “Life flows again”.
