BaxterBVery very good. Multiply the daily struggle of those two families by millions and things start to take shape real quick. The guy chopping wood resonated with me; when I was just in Kenya we saw guys sitting on the side of the road up near Embu and Chuka breaking big rocks into small rocks, and those small rocks into smaller rocks so they could sell them by the side of the road. It is hard to comprehend that kind of life, but worked they did to making a living.
A lot of different things to take away from this - why shoot-on-sight policies don't achieve much, how poaching differs between Africa and the developed world - but it was 20 minutes very well spent watching it. Thanks for posting!
This video is well worth watching and sharing. It’s very well done and worth sharing.

fulvioA well presented clip designed to captivate the unwitting crowd, a trifle exaggerated and not a chance in hell that the ending scenario would ever take place in real life.
When it comes to kinfolk, an ailing sister with offspring to boot, things change dramatically.
Some folks just don't know African traditions.
