Oh God of all creation

Bless this our land and nation

Justice be our shield and defender

May we dwell in unity

Peace and liberty

Plenty be found within our borders

Kenya

Kenya

Kenya

IT'S US

They took our freedom

And heroes of the past

They were not scared of being shot

Or being imprisoned

Their willingness to break

The shackles of colonialism

I live

I hope

I give myself for Kenya

I can't forget.

How are you doing?

My name is Jabali and this is the story of my village.

What you are seeing here is a wedding.

A wedding of my very good friends.

That's my aunty you're looking at.

But this story doesn't start with the wedding.

It starts when Roxana came to live with us.

I live with my mom.

We live like a family with her best friends next door.

My mother was always a good sleeper.

My aunty Zippy is the best hairdresser in town.

Our other neighbor is aunty Maria,

our aspiring preacher

and long-suffering wife.

Roxana.

Mum?

Mum. Coffee.

Good morning Kenya.

Why are you taking my panties and showing them off to your friends?

They are huge!

Yes, they are 'mother's union'!

Do you have to fight every day?

You are going to kill me.

It's her.

Ah!

It smells like Kate's farts.

Go away. I'm going to beat her.

Jabali.

Jabali.

Jabali.

Check it out.

Check this swagger.

Jabali.

I have told you a million times,

I don't want to see your pants like that.

Pull them up. You look like you shat yourself.

Go and collect your cousin at the stage.

What are you doing? Hurry up.

-But Mum, I don't think I'll remember her. -You will remember her.

And you have a picture.

Hey, Roxana

Come here Scola.

I want you to study hard, write exams,

get great results, get a great husband

and give me grandchildren.

And you call me old-fashioned?

You're trying to marry off a child?

Child? She already has breasts.

Get out!

Hurry up.

It's like having three mothers.

My mum is the best.

She takes her market work very seriously.

And aunty Zippy's hairstyles are famous.

Her and her number two are always working.

Voila!

You look really good.

Thank you.

Be careful or you might upstage the bride.

Good, my son is far too good for her.

But you look very good.

Very, very good.

Aunty Maria is working her way up in the church.

Very soon they will make her a pastor.

A pastor.

Ladies, we are all united in celebration.

And we have a big responsibility coming home any minute.

She was very thin as I remember, very strange.

And after everything that's happened,

she's going to be a lot stranger.

And remember, she's very shy, so don't make a fuss when she arrives.

-You're right, no fuss. -Yes, no fuss.

Oh Nene, when have we ever made a fuss?

You haven't been eating?

Come, I will cook for you.

Let me carry her bag.

Don't snatch the child!

She will sleep at my house.

See you a lot later.

You've scared her.

Whose scared her?

Stop playing with the meaning of scaring.

We have just welcomed her.

Come and see where you are sleeping.

Roxana.

Roxana, country bumpkin.

Say hello to your cousins.

Hi Roxana.

I'm sorry that your mum killed herself.

Kate.

But aunty Agnes killed herself. I have to say sorry.

She'll stay with us.

Kate, come back here.

It's good you can laugh,

but I saw you yesterday being squeezed on the corner by Njoro.

How many times have I told you that Njoro is the one who got Shiko pregnant?

Are you wanting to test if he is still in working order?

You need to concentrate on your studies.

Leave those men alone.

And don't leave that house.

That child will kill me.

I love her like my own but you have your work cut out for you.

It all goes in one ear and out the other.

It's not what's going in her ears that I'm worried about.

Roxana's tired, let me go make her some Mokimo and meat.

She will eat fish and ugali.

-No, it must be Mokimo and meat. -She will eat fish and ugali.

Oh shut up you two, arguing about food.

The child is shaken and tired and thin.

And all you two can do is argue?

She will eat pilau and chicken.

God bless this food. Amen.

Where is Roxana?

The children took her out for fried meat.

Maria, you have cooked fish special.

This chicken looks great.

Tall.

Tall?

What are you doing?

I employ you to serve in the shop,

not to dance here like a madman.

I am about to stand to become an MP.

And you will not humiliate me with your stupidity.

Go and do what I pay you for.

Buy me a queen cake, Stevo.

Stevo said he would buy one for me.

Stevo you promised to buy me a queen cake.

I can only afford one but we can share.

See Roxana, he'll even share his only cake.

If you want to hang out with us, you better pay your way.

It's not her fault she has no money.

She should have told us before we went to the Nyama joint.

I thought you were inviting me.

Listen to that accent.

Be careful, don't upset her.

She might kill herself like her mother.

What are you saying?

You have no shame.

Why are you insulting this innocent girl?

Come, I'll buy one for you.

Go on, you can give it to me.

Thank you.

What is wrong with you lot? See you made her leave.

You are behaving like children.

Get out of here.

You're so childish. One of these days--

What is wrong with you? Chasing away customers.

Those are potential voters.

Go and apologize.

No buts, go and apologize!

And Tall don't come back without saying sorry to all those children.

Give me ten thousand shillings.

I'll give you after the UCK meeting.

Oh, I forgot.

I'm changing you from the UCK, to Jackson's Liberation Party.

But everyone knows I hate him.

What will people think if I change my allegiance?

Ordinary people are stupid.

They don't know the difference.

Sweetie.

Now let your little butterfly have some cash.

And another thing.

Smarten yourself up.

You look like a shopkeeper.

But I am a shop…

I have seen something…

-Wait, wait, wait. -Zippy.

-We didn't go to school just for fun. -Triple word.

I didn't stare blankly at the blackboard.

All of them.

Eleven.

Ten times three. This is a triple-word score.

Plus fifty.

I have used all seven letters, it adds up to 91.

-Zippy, that many? -Ninety-one.

I didn't go to school just for fun.

-Yes, that's true. -It's SORIGAM.

But what does SORIGAM mean?

SORIGAM, it's in the Waturiri language.

It means learned.

Zippy, you and Maria are cheating again.

What words are these?

-VIDUDE. Who put this one? -It's Maria.

-VIDUDE, lumps of sugar! -Who put VAA?

VAA means wearing shoes, clothes…

Now this SORIGAM.

Today I have come to defeat everyone.

What's that?

Help!

Maria!

What is it?

They have finished me.

-A knife, here! -Where is it? Show me.

Oh no, come and see they've killed my husband.

Bring some disinfectant.

Look. Look.

What is it?

A bee sting.

A bee sting?

Don't laugh at him.

Let me take you home.

Thank you, my child.

Your father is very funny.

It's just talk.

Ignore them.

They'll soon shut up.

My dear, you are my heart.

Maria, you need to talk to Zippy about her faith.

My sisters, I have faith in people.

-Amen. -Amen.

Moviestar, here it is. No problem.

Don't be stupid.

Moviestar.

The sound is broken.

Keep cool people, I can fix this.

Okay, guys, I'm the star, I will save this.

He came out suddenly.

Look at how they are staring at each other.

"You killed my brother."

With one blow he finished him.

You see this girl smoked weed,

or if you like, grass, skunk or spliff.

Oh, come on Roxana lighten up.

What's your problem?

Do you think you are better than us?

She has no sense of humor.

She needs a face transplant.

She certainly needs a brain transplant.

Or maybe I should just have a friend transplant.

Just go away.

You think because I'm quiet, I'm stupid?

It's you and your pathetic jokes Jemo.

You think it's funny, to go on and on about weed like it makes you a big man.

Weed makes you stupid. You look like a complete mess.

You have failed at school, no girl is interested in you.

Jabali, what are you laughing at?

You blow in the wind and don't make your own decisions.

You are not studying and you could be brilliant.

You could be top of your class, you're throwing it all away.

Stevo, it's completely obvious who you are in love with.

Do you think getting stoned will help you talk to girls?

Who are you in love with?

Tell me who it is.

-Roxana, what do you think… -Shut up Kate!

You think it's funny to put on makeup and hang around bars with old men.

I hope you've listened to the lessons about condoms.

Don't you dare.

And then you think it's funny to joke about my mother's suicide.

Do you want to know why she killed herself?

She was raped by four men who were our neighbors.

Then they put a bottle inside her.

She was in hospital for a month.

I had to watch her lose all her spirit until she almost never got out of bed.

And I'm the one who found her hanging from the tree.

You still think it's funny?

Well said. They needed that.

Where are you going, Scola? I need to talk to you too.

From the moment I got here you have defended me.

So today I decided to defend myself.

Oh, Roxana, you scared me, I thought I was in for it too.

What I want is to bring change.

We kick out corruption.

Build new roads.

This area should have a lot of development.

Handsome young man, my vote is yours.

-Goodbye. -Thank you, mama.

-They really love you. -We have won this one.

I hope it will be that way.

This place is full of good people.

And this area deserves development.

What is it?

Water.

The driver is just coming.

I'll get us some water before we go to the next town.

It's true, you are handsome.

We want to talk to you.

You are such a know-it-all.

We will burn this car!

What are you doing here?

It's not very cold but I think it will help you.

It's fine, thanks.

Let me ask you, have you visited the whole area?

Yes, we have been all over.

He's a good man.

Is he your husband?

No, actually he is married.

I'm just helping with the campaign.

His policies could really develop this area.

-Good luck. -Thank you.

I think he is beginning to understand this area.

Thanks for saying that.

Okay then, see you later.

Without a doubt.

But you can't do that.

I can't continue.

He knows where my daughter goes to school.

-Please don't do that. -There is no point, Regina.

Driver, let's go.

Gosh!

Sorry about your mum.

It's okay. It's life.

I don't want to talk about it.

Don't worry, Kate is just childish.

I know she's feeling guilty now.

Why didn't she at least get to know me first?

Don't worry, I'm your friend now.

Black is for the people

Red is for the blood

Green is for the land

White is for peace

I always will be Kenyan

A patriotic citizen

Roxana, you have a lovely voice.

There is a song I'm writing we have to do it together.

I have to go to the shop for your mum, I'll meet you at the house.

If I love you, look out for yourself

If you don't love me, I still love you

But if I love you, if I love you

Tea leaves.

Tea leaves?

-You're going to make tea? -Yes.

-And you're making it with tea leaves? -Yes.

-And you normally use tea leaves? -Tall.

I'm really sorry about your mum.

I knew her.

She was a fine woman.

Thank you.

She would be really proud of you.

And do you know what tea leaves are made of?

What?

Tea.

Roxana?

Tall, what's wrong with you?

A customer has come into the shop wanting tea leaves

and you are disturbing her.

Just give her the tea.

Roxana, how are you?

-Fine. -How is it at home?

-Good. -How is your mum?

My mother died.

Oh! She died?

Dead? Completely?

But I see you're not dead.

And beautiful just like your mother.

Although I guess she's not so beautiful anymore.

You are beautiful.

-Now you should greet me properly. -Respect to you, grandfather.

Tall, why are you laughing?

You better learn some respect if you want to keep your job.

Now beautiful…

What's funny now?

You've never been talking to a beautiful girl

and discovered she's turned into a boy.

-How are you, Jabali? -Very good.

What are the people saying at the grassroots?

Don't worry.

The people are saying you will be their MP.

No doubt. The people love you.

What are they saying?

They are saying forget being an MP and vie for Governor.

They are always saying, " Mzito eeh."

Jabali, I should pay you well for this campaigning.

Thank you, I appreciate it.

But…

I want some info on that Roxana.

You're her family, aren't you?

Well, she is an honorary cousin.

Our mothers were best friends.

Then you are my man.

Thanks.

Why have you not introduced us?

-Give me her number. I want to call her. -Roxana doesn't have a phone.

-She doesn't have a phone? -She doesn't have a phone.

A beautiful girl like that with no phone?

-How much is a phone? -Six thousand.

Six thousand?

I think we should buy her a…

But…

In my day we never had phones.

We would write letters to the girls we loved.

Tall! Give me some paper.

You know I was an expert at writing letters.

So you write. Dear Roxana.

When I first saw you,

I saw you.

When I saw you were there,

you were there!

It rhymes.

Then you dedicate a famous song. 'Meat of all sizes.'

'Meat that's like prizes.'

I'm not sure that works.

I really think you should say something like…

You make my heart beat. You are the light of my life.

Tall!

Tall is good. That's what you should write.

If you write like that, she'll come and see you.

That's how I began a very lucrative period of my life.

Bringing people together.

Where have you come from?

You're out of breath.

-I've got another one. -Let me see.

Maybe she should open it.

Here.

You lot are so stupid.

Your smile makes my heart grow.

You make me want to smile the whole day.

God, this man is so romantic.

-So shall I tell him to write again? -No, Scola.

I'll get another.

She's blushing!

Yes, tell him to write another one.

-Jabali, don't. -What are you doing?

Let me see it.

Wow, this guy is great.

When I think of you my heart trembles.

When I think of you my heart trembles.

What?

Nothing.

Your smile makes the sun lose its brightness.

Your smile makes the sun lose its brightness.

Look at me, I'm a poet!

Hurry up.

What are you laughing at?

You're such a fool.

When nature made you,

she must have plucked you from the stars.

Scola, he's surprised me.

He's a proper writer.

And he writes all this for you.

I don't believe it.

What are you hitting me for?

Every time I think of you, my eyes get tears of joy.

Every time I think of you, my eyes get tears of joy.

-Wait a minute, what is this Bubujika? -It's poetry.

I know it's poetry, you think I am stupid.

But that's enough seduction. Tell her I want to see her.

Here.

Every time I think of you, my eyes get tears of joy.

It's so touching.

He wants to see you.

-Tell him she'll come. -Scola.

Oh, come on.

I wish someone was writing to me like that.

He's an old man and married.

I'm not saying you should go out with him.

But there's obviously more to him than meets the eye.

-Tell him she is on her way. -Okay.

She's coming.

Come on, come on.

Get this place clean.

Am I looking smart?

You look great.

Will she like the look of me?

Boys!

Yes.

Get out!

Hi Roxana, how are you?

I'm good.

Can I ask you something?

-Of course. -Are you a writer?

A writer? Yes.

I write my receipt books, invoices.

What? I think I better leave.

Not without a poem.

Dear Roxana.

I feel my tongue should start from your forehead,

then into your eyes

then finally into your mouth.

Whoa! Not like that.

-Like what then? -A serious poem

like the ones you have been writing.

-The serious ones? -Yes.

Dear Roxana.

I will put your leg upon my shoulder

and rub your thigh until the heat…

Shut up.

What are you saying?

-You are being so disrespectful. -What's wrong with that?

All right then, Roxana.

I want you.

I know you're gagging for it.

Enough of this romantic rubbish.

Romantic rubbish?

You're not a poet.

You're a dirty old man.

You think you're special?

Oh, you want us to start pitying you?

"Oh, my mama's dead. She hanged herself.'

I'll buy you a rope. Go hang from your mama's tree!

You're worthless.

Like a desert in the rain, you make my heart bloom.

You're the poet?

I am.

How could you write poems for a man like that?

I wasn't writing them for him. I was writing them for you.

What do you mean?

Roxana.

I meant every word I wrote in those letters.

I have loved you from the moment you came home.

It was a wonderful day.

The kind of joyous wedding day that people talk about for years.

We were all so happy,

as if we knew it would be our last happy day.

The next day began with a bad omen.

Where is that screaming coming from?

I think it's coming from outside.

Stevo, what's going on?

Thieves, thieves!

It's not thieves.

It sounded like someone being attacked.

Snake.

Come back. The snake is not here it's there.

Are you sure?

Of course I'm sure. It looked like it wanted to kill me.

-Auntie, where is the snake? -It's under the bed.

-Whose bed? -My bed.

Roxana, be careful.

Go and help your cousin.

Auntie, I've seen how snakes kill people on TV.

Call yourself men?

And you are letting a mere girl go and kill the snake?

Snakes are much nicer to girls.

Jabali, go and help Roxana to kill that snake.

I can't even draw a snake.

Just because I live with you? You go.

Look at this black mamba!

You go and kill it.

I don't think I killed it properly.

It's not dead, I think you're right.

That's not a toy.

Tell him he's going to get bitten.

How was the wedding?

The wedding was great.

-Thanks. -Thanks for the invitation.

There is something I just don't like about you.

Maybe it's the color of your skin, maybe it's your height.

You're fired.

Papa, you are trying to shock me?

You're calling me an old man? You want to start insulting me now?

Get out!

But if you fire me, what will I do?

Go whine to your wife.

Get out of here!

I don't want to see you here again.

What's going on here?

I've had enough of that thief.

He's a thief?

He's gone off and married one of those Waturiri thieves.

Now he's a Waturiri thief too.

You're just angry because you weren't invited to the wedding.

I was invited.

I heard you made a fool of yourself trying to seduce that child.

-Who me? -Enough.

Will you mind the shop?

You should have thought about that before you fired Tall.

Zuena.

You are the one who said we need to get rid of the Waturiri

and get all the others' votes.

We must make sure everyone knows they're thieves.

Water.

Who are the thieves?

Have you ever wondered why you are poor?

It's just normal suffering.

And my dad's a drunk.

And my mum has only just got her first-ever job.

So that doesn't help.

You don't understand.

Those Waturiri practice witchcraft.

What?

They have made you think you are poor so they can take all the land.

I don't understand.

I know you don't understand. Come outside, we'll talk.

You still have the snake?

Yes, I need to find Stevo badly.

Get that snake out of here.

-Where are they going? -Man's business.

I have your lipstick.

Oh, you got it?

Thanks, I even came with the money.

This is the one I wanted.

She must be so smart.

But we want them to look at her, not admire her.

-You are also here? -I'm also here.

What are you hiding behind your back?

-Nothing. -And in the other hand?

Nothing.

We also had those tricks a long time ago.

Both hands forward!

Lipstick?

Again Kate?

So you can put it on,

stand in the street and wait for men.

Auntie Zippy leave me alone.

You are not my mother.

You're not even my real aunt.

So you have no right to tell me what to do.

-Kate. -Kate.

Nice handbag.

Oh, thank you. It's new.

My friend bought it for me from Dubai.

Ladies, you weren't sure but it's getting noticed already.

What can I do for you?

We need some fabric.

Our friend is becoming a pastor and she must look smart.

Completely.

-Do you have some green fabric? -No, red.

No green is much more spiritual.

Red is a powerful leader's color.

Green to calm the worries of her flock.

Red is good.

I'll get you both to look at it.

My heart doesn't like that woman.

My blood and hers are like garlic and the devil.

She has a very bad heart.

Speak softly.

She is everywhere.

And I remember her when she worked the bars

and could be found under everyone else's husbands.

Now she wants to be a big shot.

What is she saying?

What can she tell us, I wonder.

The fabrics are smart.

You can come in and try them.

What a smart shop, almost like a supermarket.

There's a mirror out the back you can use.

Other people's husbands?

Have you seen me with your husbands?

Well we all know what thieves the Waturiri are.

Where's my mum gone?

I can't wear green or red. I'm going.

Mum.

Dad is fighting with a huge guy. He's going to be killed.

We must go.

*722# Rescue mission!

Let's go.

-I've lost our money gambling. -What?

You gambled Bonto's savings money?

You're so stupid.

Break it up. Why are you fighting?

On your knees!

Stand up!

On your knees!

Touch your head! Touch your eyes! Touch your nose!

-What's going on here? -It's this guy.

He has taken Bonto's money…

Why are you talking to me from your knees? Stand up.

Please help me with the money and I promise I'll pay you back.

First, hug him and say sorry.

Sorry.

Alright, but this is the last time I'm going to help you.

If you don't give it back,

I'll be tougher than that Bonto.

Hey Auntie, condoms.

Grow up.

Times have changed and we all have to be prepared.

Hey Nene.

I thought a handbag was a woman's secret.

Although you seem to have everything there.

It's just I can't find my purse.

Why a plate?

You never know when food might show up.

What are you looking for Auntie?

She thinks her purse has grown wings and flown away.

It's like witchcraft.

If it were me, I'd check the bags of the people I was with.

Kate, what are you saying?

You mean we should look in our bags.

-I am the only one with a bag here. -I'm just saying what I would do.

Kate, are you accusing me of being a thief?

Fine, you want to look in my bag.

Go ahead.

-Kate don't you dare look in that bag. -Let her look.

Give me the bag.

Then what's this?

Kate.

When did you put that in my bag?

But Zippy we haven't seen her except at the shop.

What are you saying, Maria?

Well someone is playing tricks on me here, Nene.

Looks like children playing games.

Well someone is playing tricks on me.

I don't like it and I'm really angry.

Scola, let's go.

No Mum.

Not till Kate tells us what she knows.

I don't know anything and I've been out all day.

We're not fools.

How did you know it was there?

-Well it's hardly a surprise. -And what does that mean?

She means we all know which tribe are thieves.

Yeah. Waturiri.

Children.

Maria.

Is this how you are raising your children?

Scola.

The Waturiri say we are all witches.

She is saying you urinate in the water containers,

that people live by the well.

-I don't believe it. -Mzito says

they stole all the land

and bewitched our grandparents,

so they would forget they ever owned it.

The more these rumors spread…

The better this is for you, my love.

They are saying we are all thieves.

They are even talking badly about your mum now.

How can they do that?

After all that's happened.

So my friend, take good care of your hair.

I'll put the cornrows in next time.

Why do you do all the work, while she gets all the credit?

Credit?

She has hardly been here this week.

-She disrespects you. -What?

I've heard her talking very badly about you.

She said you, Maria and Alfayo

should go back to your home in the hills.

What?

My friend, that's what she said.

They don't want us here.

If their guy wins the election they will chase us out.

And remember, they already own all the land.

But if they tell us to leave, where will I go?

I don't know anyone at home anymore.

It's time for us to stick together.

But as my tribemate, we do have to ask.

Where did they get all this land?

Auntie, there's some things you should know.

I'm hearing a lot of stuff.

These are not good people.

Naserian!

What is wrong?

I didn't know you were such a racist.

What do you mean?

Naserian!

What's the problem?

-When did you get here? -A while back.

You should be happy considering what I've heard about church last Sunday.

They are saying that the devil himself would have been saved by you.

-Oh Mzito you are flattering me. -I am not flattering

Let me get you something.

I've already poured myself some milk.

Let me make you some tea.

I have known you for a long time, Maria.

There is something remarkable about you.

I really believe the Lord has chosen you.

This community's been waiting

for a spiritual guide like you for a long time.

Thank you Mzito.

It means a lot to hear that from you.

Have you thought about making DVDs?

DVD's?

People want to hear your sermons.

And not everyone can come to church every Sunday to see you.

Maria.

You have a rare beauty…

that comes from your pure spirit.

You can touch peoples' hearts.

Oh Mzito, you are making me forget myself.

You are making me remember myself.

When I am elected,

I am going to build you a better church.

A church that will improve your status.

You know Maria,

you're in a position to make a difference in this community.

-Me? -Yes, you.

What you can do is let me come and talk to your congregation on Sunday.

You are welcome in my church anytime.

Forget about the DVD.

We must get you on TV.

Have you ever been on TV?

Me?

See you on Sunday.

Mzito. Tea?

And then I told her, "We must get you on TV."

And she believed you?

Please welcome, Mr. Mzito.

Welcome, Mzito!

Today I have brought you a little something.

So that you can buy a little something.

Then you can eat a little something.

So that when you go to the toilet you put something in there.

And now we raise the stakes.

Mzito's heard they are training militias in the forest.

What?

It's not good.

I'm emailing my friends to let them know there are militias in the forest,

training to come and chase us.

What?

They are being trained professionally with machetes and guns.

They want to kill us. They want to finish us.

They killed three people already.

Cut them into tiny pieces.

They're cutting them into small pieces and feeding them to their dogs.

Really?

Don't worry, Stevo.

I will protect you. I won't leave you like that.

Go and distribute these to the people.

But remember don't say where they are from.

You hear?

You're my man.

-Okay? -Yes, your honor.

That was easy.

"They cut them into pieces and fed them to the dogs."

If I tell you, please don't tell anyone.

I can't tell anyone.

They found a stash of fuel hidden.

It was meant for burning our houses.

My God.

Imagine, they are coming really soon and they will burn us all out.

It's true.

That's what they're saying.

She said this week won't end.

I'm scared, Maria.

It could even be tomorrow.

We have to protect ourselves.

Listen here.

We better be ready.

Get yourselves knives, machetes and spears.

And make sure they are poisoned.

I hear they have already burnt houses nearby.

…nineteen people are now feared to have been killed by that tribe.

Reports say they raped the women,

before gouging out their eyes,

and pulling out their teeth…

I'll be back shortly with more news.

Make sure you increase the casualties after every hour.

-And don't forget to include children. -Okay, nice one boss.

Good job.

They say they want fifty heads.

Well, then we should take one hundred.

I heard they want to line our heads up in the middle of the road as a warning.

It's time to defend ourselves.

We have received news.

That same tribe have armed themselves

and are raping our children.

Are we just going to watch them?

Did you hear that? Just as I was telling you.

-These dogs are going to kill us. -Let's drive them out.

This is really great.

We're building a roadblock.

-Will the TV people be there? -Yes, they'll be there. Let's go.

It will calm down.

Roxana?

I knew this would happen.

You are to blame.

You have been supporting Mzito.

And you have been taking money from him.

Roxana?

Who is it?

-Who are you? -Tall.

What's going on out there?

It's gone crazy.

They are burning all the Waturiri houses.

I saw them burning old man Joe's cafe.

It's far.

Tall, we can't stay here.

You can't go out there.

Do we just wait here to be attacked?

Roxana.

Please forgive me if I have let you down.

But listen to me now, it's not safe out there.

Auntie, you think this place is safe?

That's Scola.

Scola.

Scola.

Scola.

What's wrong?

They've killed my mother.

She had barricaded herself in the salon.

-The enemy! -Burn!

Help!

Help me!

But no one helped her.

Then the fire burnt her.

I saw Uncle Alfayo.

He was one of them.

Scola.

They won't come here.

They're looking for the Waturiri.

Roxana.

-Let's go. -No, you won't go.

I'll not lose someone else.

Auntie if we get to town,

we can wait at the police station till morning.

Hide there. If you are not able to, come back here.

Okay, Auntie. Roxana.

If we're going, let's leave now.

Mum.

Open.

Mum?

Thank God.

-Where's Roxana and Tall? -They went to the police station.

It's really bad there. They've started killing people.

Don't leave here.

Jabali, don't go.

They've killed your Auntie Zippy.

They burnt down her salon.

It's not possible.

-Mum, I have to go get them. -Jabali!

Give us the Waturiri.

Have we got the enemy?

What is it?

-They killed her. -Who?

-They killed her, Mum. -Who has been killed?

I told them not to go to the roadblock.

What roadblock?

Jabali, who has been killed?

I told them to stop and they didn't listen.

Then they burnt Auntie.

I tried to tell them to stop.

-They refused. -Who?

They burnt her.

I can hear her screaming.

-Where is that scream coming from? -What?

I hear screaming, let's go.

Thieves!

Where are those screams coming from?

Mum, she's been killed!

They cut off her head at the roadblock!

She's dead!

Jabali, she's not dead. Look. Come.

Here she is. There's Roxana.

She's not dead.

You've been dreaming.

She's dead!

Listen Jabali, you were dreaming.

Here's Roxana. Here's your Auntie Zippy.

-You were dreaming! -I nearly died

because there is a snake in my house.

Snake, snake!

The snake is over there!

You black mamba! Are you a kid?

Are you sure?

-Where's the snake? -It's under the bed.

Jabali, how did you know?

-Give me that. -No, give it to me.

If that was a dream,

then we can change things.

-What's wrong with Jabali? -I don't know.

The child was having a bad dream.

He's saying people have been killed. That you two have died.

I always tell you all to pray before you go to bed.

Here it is.

Hey, I think it's not dead.

Jemo, be careful.

Jabali, my little hero.

-And you with your fear of snakes. -Come Auntie Zippy and give me a hug.

I tried to tell them, they burnt you in the salon.

The dream is over.

Let me make her some tea.

She is still shaken.

Roxana. Give me a hug.

Roxana, I had the most frightening dream.

Guys, imagine I met Jemo carrying a big snake.

-I'm the one who killed it. -Get real. Who are you lying to?

-Tell her I'm the one who killed it. -He killed it.

I had a horrible dream.

I dreamt that they cut off Roxana's head to line it up at the roadblock.

They killed your mum in the salon.

It's true.

Imagine it's more than a dream.

It was a warning. I know it. It was too real.

But the dream started with the snake.

Just like this morning.

Everything is the same.

Same place.

It's not just a coincidence.

Jabali, I know…

No Scola, I think he might be right.

What. Are you having nightmares too?

I went through this at home.

Things that happened there before the election are happening here.

-Like what? -Like discrimination.

Like racism. The things Mzito is doing.

He's dividing us on tribal lines.

He thinks if he demonizes us he will get everyone else's votes.

Where are the good politicians?

Yes, with good policies?

It's true. A good politician will not want us to vote on tribal lines.

Scola, you must have noticed things changing?

You see, I never used to think about what tribe I was from.

It's people like Mzito who are causing this.

Mzito is such a cow!

In my dream Auntie Maria even let him speak in church.

Well, that is true.

Mzito will be at church on Sunday.

You see. This was not just a dream.

-It was like a warning. -Scola, this is how things start.

I was there before and you both know what happened.

I haven't told anyone this story.

A few days ago a child threw a stone at me

and called me a Waturiri prostitute.

That's what I was telling you.

-We have to try and stop it. -How?

You want to hand out flowers and tell everyone to love each other?

No.

It is us who will fight the racism, the rumors.

-And I want to stop Mzito. -How Jabali?

-How do you intend to do that? -I'm just going to try.

I feel like I've been given another chance.

We all watched it happen.

We all believed the leaders,

while they just sat there.

When you were looking for food, their fridges were full.

Their children went to school as usual while our children stayed at home.

They sat in the State House and big hotels happy with what they had done.

Scola, it is us who can stop the racism.

The selfishness.

The rumors.

It is us who can refuse to be tribally incited.

It is us who will bring about positive change.

It's true. It is us!

It is us.

It is us.

We are like two different colors of a ball.

We can't mix.

What does that mean?

Jemo, we have grown up with these guys.

How are they suddenly your enemy?

Mum who said that?

-I just heard. -No Mum, listen.

It's just a rumor. They want you to be scared.

Where is your mother from?

Maureen, isn't your mother from the south?

How many of us have family from all over Kenya?

If we say we want to chase them, where do we start?

Careful you don't chase yourself away.

Kate.

That is me he is talking about.

That is my mum.

It's Roxana.

Do you think we are all cockroaches?

Of course not but…

But what?

Listen, Kate.

We've grown up together.

We've schooled together.

We were born here.

There is no place I love like here.

This is home.

Do you want Mzito to chase us from our home?

Kate?

Kate?

So what do you mean?

You vote for Mzito because he gave you a thousand bob?

I took his money.

So what? Take it.

Then vote for someone who has a clean past and good policies.

Are you really going to be bribed with some alcohol?

Style up! You're better than that.

Alcohol relieves stress.

Stress?

Do you know why our sisters are leaving their marriages?

Because the men are so drunk they can't satisfy them.

Is that going to be you?

Can't do the deed!

Style up!

Then we have to stop him ourselves.

Please get everyone who is listening and come to the church.

Even I will be there.

You want to go to church?

Don't we worship one God?

Don't forget my husband was a Christian.

And I have to support Jabali.

Tall, I need you to understand.

Sweetie, there are some battles you just can't win.

But you have to try.

The time has come for us to stand together as Kenyans.

And fight for our rights.

And I'm ready.

-Have you been smoking something? -What kind of question is that?

I worked for that man for a long time.

I know what he is capable of.

If you mess with him, he will finish you.

So you're happy for him to split us apart in order to get votes?

You're on your own.

Tall.

Here he comes.

Here it is.

It's cued up.

Thanks.

Welcome.

Beloved, let us pray.

Lord, we've come before you.

We've come to hear from you.

We pray that you will be with us from now till the end.

We pray this in your name.

Thank you very much, my sister, Naserian.

Beloved, this is a very important day

because we have someone here who really loves us.

Someone who cares for us.

A man that is very close to getting a seat in parliament.

In a seat worth more than him.

Who will bring much needed change to this community.

Beloved, please let us welcome the respected Mzito.

Don't keep me waiting so long.

Thank you.

My people.

We have been sat on and oppressed for too long,

by certain people.

They've been lying to us and using the powers of darkness.

Defeat them.

But all that is about to end.

I have been coming here and praying with Pastor Maria.

-Amen. -And God has spoken to us.

God has sent us a message.

By SMS.

I have answered the call.

I have decided to fight these people

if you elect me as your MP.

Why are you talking politics in church?

Young man, please respect the MP.

No.

This man is standing there calling us 'those people'.

Who are 'those people'?

It's us, isn't it?

It's me?

We should not fight, especially in church.

Yes.

-I want this boy to be thrown out. -Yes.

If you have an accusation, go to the chief.

-Yes. -You'll be arrested for spreading rumors.

If you don't have one, sit down and respect God's house.

Yes! You won't succeed.

We're not as stupid as you think.

Young lady, now you have crossed the line.

And you will go outside.

My eyes are on you.

Try me.

Go have your baby.

-Mzito tell us what you want. -What do you want?

Speak!

My people…

What I want…

I want better roads.

Yes.

I want our children to go to better schools.

I want our youth to get into employment.

I want jobs.

I want…

Excuse me.

I know in your midst…

there is someone who doesn't want me to speak.

But I will continue.

-Speak. -As I was saying what I want…

is for these cockroaches to be squashed.

What I was saying is that…

I want these people to suffer, as we have suffered.

I want their women to know that we are real men.

Give them our seed.

Then we chase them out of our land.

Let's organize ourselves into small armies.

And we will show them our wrath.

Mzito, what are you saying?

Cut off their heads!

My people.

I brought for you a little something.

A little something? Take it to your wife.

Mzito, next time you are inciting people to rape or do any other crime,

make sure no one is recording you.

This boy is trying to trick you.

He is using witchcraft.

I've been thinking about you.

I've been thinking of giving you your job back.

You'll give me my job back?

And a pay rise.

-I'll get a pay rise? -Three times.

And then you can use me again like you did all those years?

Listen, Mzito.

Your time of trying to divide us is over.

Yes!

I have good news for you Mzito.

Your friends are waiting for you outside.

Police.

Mzito, get out.

Get out!

You are shameless, inciting rape.

Here it is, the law against inciting rape.

The time of us being used by bad politicians is over.

John Mzito, you are accused of inciting rape and spreading rumors.

Inciting rape is a crime.

Who are you?

I'm just following the law.

They want to divide us. People who lived together for years.

We are Kenyans.

The strength of our community comes from our diversity.

Because someone is not from your tribe, are they your enemy?

We are all Kenyans, our tribe is Kenyan.

Young people, let's stop being used badly.

You get a bag of flour today to get your vote,

then what do you eat tomorrow?

We shouldn't allow ourselves to be used badly.

And we shouldn't accept their bribes.

We demand leadership that will bring development.

A leader that will refuse corruption.

We want a new Kenya.

We need to elect leaders who will improve our livelihoods.

We need leaders who represent us all.

Who is it who will bring development?

-It is us! -Who can fight corruption?

-It is us! -Who can fight racism?

-It is us! -Who can stop stupidity?

You're sounding like a politician.

But you have spoken well. Take five.

I feel like such a fool.

Maria, you were duped.

You fell for his lies.

How will anyone forgive me?

What this country needs is forgiveness.

There has been too much anger.

If we can't forgive you after all our years together,

what hope do we have?

I have forgiven you and I feel light.

Oh, I feel like dancing.

Auntie, are you saying you can dance?

DJ.

Play something.
