It's the early 1950s. The Mau Mau rebellion is just beginning in colonial Kenya. The rebels will kill 32 white settlers. In crushing it, 55,000 British soldiers will kill at least 12,000 of the Kikuyu people and imprison another 150,000. Yet another 1,120 Kikuyu will be sentenced to death by the courts. About 1,800 Kikuyu will be murdered for being loyalists to the colonial regime. It will be more than ten years of bloodshed before Kenya finally passes to majority rule.
