Now, his daughter, Wanjugu, joins her mother’s decades long quest, searching for his remains. Along her journey she meets elder freedom fighters and land rights advocates who tell her of British concentration camps, torture, starvation and land theft that left hundreds of thousands of Kenyans destitute. Wanjugu’s mission expands and, working closely with her mother, she transforms into a powerful leader, exposing colonial crimes, while building a grassroots movement for land resettlement. This intimate portrayal of a daughter’s mission to bring peace to her mother, exposes the dark chapter of colonialism in Kenya, and features Mukami and Wanjugu's powerful interventions to shift it's legacy: a story that will reverberate not only in Kenya, but also in countries impacted by colonialism across the world.
