In the wake of recent events, one can’t fail to look back at the young restless generations of decades gone, who influenced the direction of a nation. Like the young South African men, such as Walter Sisulu and Nelson Mandela, who grew impatient with the freedom struggle and took it over.
Closer home, the young men and women of the 1940s played their role in the struggle for liberation and independence, in what would become Maumau.
Amid the call for change comes the motivation and ignition of our spirits from those who fought before us, who stood their ground and set the example of a revolution founded in unity, peace and unmatched resilience.
On 29th and 30th June, a story centred on the above will be on the big screen. Wamaitha is the country’s first movie about a Mau Mau woman, a love story brewed during this defining moment that conjured up the spirit of revolution.
In the powderkeg of struggle, two lovebirds, Kung’u and Wamaitha, are bound in love and the quest for freedom.
Wamaitha resembles the hundreds of women seen in the streets countrywide marching peacefully for their rights not to be deterred by guns or any other act of force whatsoever.
