Engiteng' Narok Lukunya

Black Head Cow | Die schwarzköpfige Kuh

Generation Kplus 2017

Naserian's narrative was developed by young people in Tanzania under the guidance of director Elizabeth Nichols. A young girl lives in a remote Maasai village and is one of the best pupils at the local school. ‘God made me a genius’, she jokingly comments. One day her father arranges for her to be married, but Naserian, bright and brave, balks at submitting to the elders' rules.
