I will send you some thugs, I don't care who you are.
You will know what's real!
What's happening? Where are you going?
To Nairobi. To go and look for a better life.
Ai! Even you?
These people, have given you how much?
Go ask your father.
But Mr. Kitili,
we spoke the day before yesterday,
and agreed no one in Tsilanga should give them the time of day.
Today, you are changing your mind?
What do you think you can teach me?
Go look for a wife first. Tsk.
Let's go!
She has used her own name, Akisa.
Isn't this a tray?
-People from Nairobi, will show us things. -Hey?
Isn't this used for winnowing green grams?
It's not a bad place.
Do you remember what I told you?
Yes, I understand this is Nairobi.
It's about your mother.
Okay, ever since your father's body disappeared,
"Oh, Esther ate him…"
Don't be like that Akisa, after all we are family. Huh?
And we wouldn't want anything bad happening to your mother.
these kind of situations can easily get out of control.
-Yeah. -We will remain crying in the woods.
-Yeah! -What are you going to tell people?
Did you hear that?
Yes, this one's the problem.
We know you are a hardworking woman.
Let's go.
My name is Musa. Have a nice day.
Gentlemen, hello.
Hello.
-Hm. Hello. -Hello.
The boy is visiting home from studies abroad.
He likes to sit in on meetings to learn a bit
about the real business.
We have prepared all the documents, just as you requested.
This meeting is not so serious, you can write down some notes
and we can discuss them later. Okay?
There is no mention here of how you intend to secure the loan.
Yes.
That's because we intend to complete repayment within a year
and have agreed to your interest rates,
steep as they are.
Surely,
three million dollars requires more than a confident business plan.
-Will you eat? -Yes.
I am still mad at you.
And now, Kyalo, I understand why you haven't had time for me recently.
But, to be honest,
Are there other papers with this story?
Do you have data?
You're okay.
-Are you ready? -Yeah.
Go ahead.
My people of Tsilanga. I see that we are in the newspaper.
The time to take action is now.
Let's meet at the base.
We must stand up for the rights of our children.
We must give them a better future.
If we don't fight for them now, what future will they have?
Let's meet.
Yeee! Kyalo!
Hello.
I think what we should do,
is go there and take all those kids away.
Let many of us go, even the boda-boda riders.
We are here, because of Kyalo.
Then, can we listen to him.
I know even him, he has good ideas. Better than the noises being made here.
Then speak.
How are you my kinsmen?
We're good but angry!
Community land belongs to the community.
Nobody should be allowed to touch our land without us here,
-without us agreeing to it. -True.
We have no problem, with those children who work there.
Or the people who work there. No.
Who is hurting our children?
-Who is destroying our property? -Eco Rock!
-Who is stealing our property? -Eco Rock!
-Shut down Eco Rock! -Shut down Eco Rock!
Eco Rock!
Children, farms, money.
-Children. -They are ours!
-Farms. -They are ours!
-Money. -We don't want!
Welcome Sir!
A viral video of Tsilanga is what it took for a handsome man to come here.
Eh… hello.
My name is Joe Murage and I work with Kenya Daily.
I was asking if you could show me where the Eco Rock mines are.
Excuse, let's go.
Make sure your camera is ready.
Today, the mine will be on fire.
-Eco Rock! -Are devils!
-Children! -They are ours!
-Money! -We don't want!
Eco Rock! Are devils!
-Children! -They are ours!
-Land? -Is ours!
-Money! -We don't want!
Hello, police. There are protests here at Eco Rock mine.
People are angry. They are going to fight.
Get out of here.
This is communal land.
This is private land, you are the ones who should leave.
Is your head not functioning well?
-Whose land is it? -It's ours!
-Whose land is this? -It's our land!
-What will we do? -We'll take it by force!
What's wrong with you?!
Get out of here.
Not tomorrow. Today!
Leave.
Are your ears okay?
What?
Be very careful, Kyalo.
Is there anyone else wanting to try me?
Anybody else?
You!
From the media.
You, let's go!
Bring him!
Why are you back?
I know, that they have told you to convince me to sell the land.
-He said… -I'll be killed?
Don't worry.
I am ready to defend myself.
Mummy, whose blood is that?
Follow me.
I told your father,
this land issue will kill us. See.
Eh mum, I don't like Uncle Titus and Musa.
This Tsilanga, is tiring me.
I am not leaving. This is my home.
My Kivoi has been buried here.
Maybe God, has decided that I follow him soon.
Mom, don't say that.
Eh! What?
They were paid long ago.
They won't even get a cent of this land.
I even know someone who can help us.
Is it the man who is always calling you?
Mom, what would Baba want you to do?
Hm-mm. What happened?
What equipment? Listen.
you will say,
-Okay? -Okay.
Man?
Leave my phone alone. You, let me call a number!
-Hey! -You! What's wrong with you?
Okay.
-Kill each other then. -Let's go.
You are stupid, which side were you fighting for?
I am better off,
you guys will be fired and start sleeping hungry. Then we will know who is stupid.
I don't care.
Remember when I found that gold and Silas said he was the one who got it?
That's not okay. All those people, are not good.
Just keep blabbing. You know you can't fight with an empty stomach.
So, what are you saying Muli? Is the money we are getting so much?
He is called "bourgeoisie."
You are the proletariat.
So us proteins, what should we do?
He didn't say "protein", that's food.
There is nothing, we can do. When you try anything, you'll be beaten by the police.
If you continue like that, you'll end up back in the orphanage you ran away from.
No, I'd rather die.
Let's go for some firewood.
You!
That's my phone ringing.
That's my phone.
Look,
let me just answer it.
If you don't let me talk to my lawyers,
I swear you will know who I am.
-Akisa, come. -Tsk.
Akisa, how do you know this stupid person?
Akisa, don't tell me you belong to the Eco Rock bunch.
You shouldn't be speaking to my prisoners.
You! Kingo!
You. Don't try me, okay?
Why don't you bail out your boyfriend and relieve me of some stress?
Who has done that?
Akisa, what do you want me to do?
People are asking questions.
Like what happened to your father's body?
If they don't get answers, they start
You.
You know Akisa?
Very well.
It makes you jealous?
You and I aren't in the same league.
Okay, let's go.
I thought I'd grow old in here.
No. You don't have a visa.
Visa for what?
Don't fight battles you can't win, bro.
I am the big league.
Let me never see you in Tsilanga again! I'll split that head of yours!
Release Kyalo.
Tell him his bail has been paid by Akisa.
It seems like your business is doing well in Nairobi.
Kyalo has refused to leave.
He says, he doesn't want to be bailed out with money from Eco Rock.
Whenever you show up, something bad happens.
And if I am not there, something bad happens to my mother.
-Have you heard? -Ai! Me?
I never said anything!
Then, tell them!
Can you hear me?
Are you hurt?
Is that a question you can ask?
You can see.
Let's go to the clinic then.
I can't wait for you. Musa will come for you.
Thank you so much for bringing me.
We have agreed.
-Have we agreed? -Hmm.
Zipporah, what is it?
It seems like, you have chosen to keep your enemies closer.
Even I would've defended myself if my home had such problems.
Did I not tell you to stop these stories about Akisa and Kyalo.
Personally, I'm only trying to share what Mercy told me.
Get pregnant! Whether it's an immaculate conception,
or by Kyalo, just get pregnant!
You'll see, your husband will stop wandering around.
Young girl.
Thank you very much.
True.
He was the math genius of the family.
Totally.
Who lives there?
But it's falling apart already,
When did he die?
My condolences.
It's okay.
No, it's okay. He will sort you guys.
Hey.
Hello? How are you today?
I am quite thirsty, I am asking whether I could use your tap.
-That's not good. It is rainwater. -That's okay.
Are you a visitor here?
Yes. I had some business to do at the chief's place.
Welcome inside.
Please, have a seat.
-Are you visiting your family? -No.
I'm just passing by.
You know how to arrange a house.
Take this.
Thank you.
-You stay in Nairobi? -Yes.
You are far away from home.
Sometimes a long drive, helps me think clearly.
What work do you do for a living?
My wife and I, we run a small business.
You are married.
You know each other?
Very well. Or what?
Mom.
-Thanks for the water. -You're welcome.
So, you know that stupid guy?
Your people have paid your bail.
Hey Kyalo is here!
Here he is here he is
Come and see him
Those who were asking When Kyalo will be seen
Here he is here he is come and see him
That visitor friend of yours,
You've known him for sometime?
A short while.
Does he have children?
-No. -Why?
I don't know mom.
Forgive me if, lately,
I've made you feel as if I don't love you.
I want you to know that.
