Kikuyu Land

Kikuyu Land is a feature documentary about a community’s quiet defiance and the echoes of a past that refuses to stay buried.
When journalist Bea Wangondu returns to her ancestral homeland, a familiar landscape becomes a map of long-suppressed stories: tea fields hiding contested histories, families carrying untold wounds, and a community bound by both loss and unshakable resolve.
Guided by voices that move in the shadows for their own safety, Bea uncovers decades of hidden evidence and a conflict that has shaped the lives of workers, community members and landowners alike. As she follows the community’s pursuit of justice, her own family’s past begins to shift beneath her, revealing fractures she never expected.
Part investigation, part homecoming, Kikuyu Land is a poetic journey through memory, land and legacy.
