Mau Mau -- Black Man's Land Part 5

Description

This film traces the history of the state of emergency declared by the British Colonial Government of Kenya in 1952 in an attempt to subdue the movement among black Kenyans for political and civil rights. The scenes reveal the secret society known as Mau Mau to have been a reactionary creation of the white minority of Kenya to justify the campaign of repression and atrocity waged against the black Kenyans for over four years.
