Maasai

Enkang life

Filmed in the Rift Valley, Kenya

Maasai: Enkang life is the second of six films in the series Film essays of Maasai life. These remarkable films, in which the Maasai describe their culture and the ways in which a rapidly changing world continues to impact their way of life, bring the viewer close to an extraordinary and semi-nomadic indigenous world.

Enkang life documents the daily activities in Olmaroroi Village in Kenya’s Rift Valley. The women prepare a donkey transport, the men light a fire and a Maasai bride leaves the village.

The Maasai films are:

•    Women at work and women at home
•    Enkang life
•    Changing times
•    Food and celebration
•    Keeping knowledge
•    Birds sing and lions roar
