From 1885-1963 the British ruled Kenya and inflicted a regime of violence that saw Kenyans kicked off their land and enslaved. As resistance grew in the 1950's, the British threw about a million Kenyans into concentration camps, starving, torturing and killing thousands.In 1963, Kenya won its independence, but the majority of the population, including freedom fighters, did not see their land returned. They were left destitute - a situation that persists today.Now, people want justice. Not just for past colonial atrocities. They want to reclaim their history. And their land. One woman, Wanjugu Kimathi, is leading this fight.Our Land, Our Freedom tells her story.

SYNOPSIS
VIEW FROM A GRAIN OF SAND tells of the history of women’s rights in Afghanistan from 1980-2005, through the eyes of three Afghan women: a doctor, a teacher, and a rights activist. Illustrated with vérité footage, interviews and archival material, their personal stories lead us through the minefield of Afghanistan’s complex history, and provide illuminating context for Afghanistan’s current situation and the ongoing battle women face, even now, to gain basic human rights. 
Shot over a four-year period in the sprawling refugee camps of north-western Pakistan and in the war-torn city of Kabul, the documentary constructs a harrowing, thought-provoking, yet intimate portrait of the plight of Afghan women over the last 30 years—from the rule of King Zahir Shah to the current Hamid Karzai government.&#38;nbsp;The women are powerfully moving as they re-define strength and resilience in the face of on-going struggle, and give a full and visceral picture of a still divided and brutalized nation. As world attention has shifted to other crises, this project re-focuses the camera on Afghanistan, remembering the voices of those most vulnerable and most affected by the conflicts: women.

ASHA[10mins, HD, 2015]

Asha is a Muslim name, meaning “Hope”.Asha is a housemaid in Nairobi, Kenya. In 2014, after small explosions in the a suburb of Nairobi, the police mete out collective punishment on Somali Muslims. Asha goes to work as usual. On her way home, &#38;nbsp;she is stopped by the police for “having the wrong name”. She appeals to the policeman - once also a victim of collective punishment against the Kikuyu, meted out by the British in colonial times - in an attempt to forge a path out of the cycle of violence.

	BLUE&#38;nbsp; [TRT: 3 mins HD 2016]

	 
How does one show appreciation for a place one does not know? Does attempting to learn a few words in a verbal language allow entry into a culture? This video attempts to formulate a language of looking, noticing, paying attention to the rhythms&#38;nbsp; of a small town, while also acknowledging one's status as outsider.

As Gaston Bachelard wrote:“Sometimes we stand in wonder before a chosen object; we build up hypotheses and reveries; in this way we form convictions which have all the appearance of true knowledge. But the initial course is impure: the first impression is not a fundamental truth.”

	Transmissions from Alphaville references the Free Speech Movement of the 1960’s in Berkeley, USA as well Jean Luc Godard’s Alphaville in this exploration of the curtailing of the freedom of expression, speech and even ideology in the post 9-11 landscape of USA. Delineating the USA Patriot Act of 2001, which codified and extended a wide range of surveillance techniques by government on ordinary US citizens, the FISA ACT of 2008, and the recent permission of the use of drones by local and state police, the piece explores the shrinking space of privacy and “un-surveillance” within a rhizomatic structure.
