Some years back, approximately 600 Samburu women claimed that British soldiers had raped them. When the women returned home, they were beaten and cast-out by their husbands and ostracised by the community. UMOJA: NO MEN ALLOWED tells the amusing and moving story of a group of impoverished tribal women in Northern Kenya who oppose age-old patriarchy when they set up a women-only village.
