    Recommended #documentary film.

    Between 1952 and 1960, Britain fought a vicious war in Kenya against the anticolonial Mau Mau movement. It was an exceptionally bloody conflict, with atrocities committed on both sides. For decades, many of the worst abuses by British colonial forces were kept hidden. Piecing together survivor testimonies and expert analysis from British and Kenyan historians, this film tells a complete and detailed story for the first time of how Britain was involved in systemic torture – including accounts of murders, rapes and forced castrations.

    A Very British Way of Torture is a film by Ed McGown and produced by Rob Newman.

  5. The question of terror is as old as the liberation struggle itself. Revolutionaries are constantly confronted with the mainstream narrative that labels anti-colonial movements as “terrorists.” Just like the Kenyan Mau Mau resistance movement, mainstream media today is labelling the Palestinian resistance as consisting of “terrorists.” Watch Malcolm X debunk this claim.

    "Yamesemwa na kuandikwa mengi juu ya kiini cha mapambano ya Mau Mau na vikosi vya Wakoloni Waingereza. Lakini je, kiini hiki kimezungumiziwa vya kutosha katika fasihi ya Kenya? Ni kwa nini fasihi hii imewadunisha wazalendo na kuwafanya wasioweza kuiunda historia yao? Kwa nini waimbaji wetu Kenya hawajapata kuimba nyimbo za kuwasifu mashujaa kama Dedan Kimathi na ujasiri wao? Historia na matendo waliyoyaandika wanahistoria na waandishi wengine ni vya nani?"
