Melissa Llewelyn-Davies returns to the Maasai village in Kenya that has been the subject of most of her life's work as both filmmaker and anthropologist. Beautifully shot and intercut with scenes from her earlier works, this film explores the changes the Maasai have been forced to make and the consistency they maintain. Her focus is on the women of the pastoral village who justify their socially and politically inferior status through recourse to myth and simple practicality. Llewelyn-Davies's decades of familiarity with this village and her own experiences as a woman help to elicit the solidarity the Maasai women share as a subtle challenge to their inequality. In this conversation among women, the camera is a liaison between the "primitive" Maasai village and Llewelyn-Davies's own "civilized" European background but it never fully disguises the lack of comprehension each side has for the other.-Kim Christian
