Land of Shepherds (2016)

The narrator travels through the Kenyan countryside observing daily life from the framing of a school bus window. Affected by scenes of ageless activities, she imagines the present and possible futures in this ancient land. This video was realized following participation in the Kistrech Poetry Festival.
