Wanjugu Kimathi, the daughter of the leader of the Mau Mau rebellion, Dedan Kimathi, searches for her father’s remains while fighting for land rights for forgotten veterans of the anti-colonial struggle. Through the eyes of Kimathi’s widow, Mukami Kimathi, and the voices of Mau Mau fighters, the film tells their stories of British colonial rule, and the ongoing trauma of those who believe justice is still denied. We see Wanjugu fight for land for the Mau Mau descendants and hear her plea for Dedan Kimathi’s remains to be returned and buried with honour.
