Synopsis

Numerous Kenyan women allege that they were raped by British soldiers from 1970 to 2003 — battered and abandoned by their husbands for bringing "shame on the community" — a number of Samburu women gathered and created "Umoja", a sex-segregated village where only women are allowed permanent residence.
