@MoviesMatter @Under_OurSkin @AbdallahLomoro @zippyfilmz Through films like this, @zippyfilmz aims to educate, challenge, and shift perspectives, often shaped by colonial narratives, offering a vital counterpoint to these engineered colonial narratives. @MoviesMatter @AbdallahLomoro @Under_OurSkin #MoviesThatMatter

@MoviesMatter @Under_OurSkin @AbdallahLomoro @zippyfilmz "If you do not know the root, then you won't see the importance of fighting for justice." - @zippyfilmz on the power of film as a tool for change and education. @MoviesMatter thank you for hosting team Kenya. #MoviesThatMatter #FilmFestival

Grateful for the profound experience of watching 'Our Land, Our Freedom' a film directed by Zippy Kimundu & Meena Nanji, at the ongoing 2024 Movies That Matter festival here in the Netherlands. 👉youtu.be/fGamuGcv-fo?si…

@MoviesMatter @Under_OurSkin @AbdallahLomoro @zippyfilmz As Zippy emphasizes, the film sheds light on the plight of forgotten freedom fighters, overlooked for over 60 years, and the ongoing struggle for economic independence in post-colonial Kenya. @zippyfilmz @MoviesMatter @AbdallahLomoro @Under_OurSkin #MoviesThatMatter

@MoviesMatter @Under_OurSkin @AbdallahLomoro @zippyfilmz The Mau Mau Rebellion, from 1952-1960, fiercely fought to prevent the confiscation of land by the British authorities. Despite Dedan Kimathi's efforts, he was hanged by the British in 1957, & his body was cruelly disposed of at an undisclosed location. @zippyfilmz @MoviesMatter

@MoviesMatter @Under_OurSkin @AbdallahLomoro @zippyfilmz This powerful film explores the horrific legacy of Kenya's atrocities during British colonialism, with a particular focus on Wanjugu Kimathi's quest to uncover the remains of her father, Dedan Kimathi, the legendary leader of the fierce Kenyan Land and Freedom Army, or Mau Mau.
