What does it mean to be of a place? Of the sun and soil and bees, of the water and black ants and cowpeas. To be so entangled with an ecosystem, generation after generation, that nature and culture become one. Clans living in Tharaka, Kenya, have been subjected to colonialism and all that follows. Their indigeneity unthreaded by a powerful few pulling the world apart for profit. But Atharaka – ‘those of Tharaka’ – are remembering the power in their identity. Beside the Kithino River, they are reviving customs and enabling nature to regenerate: rethreading a complex biocultural system that brings balance, autonomy, and joy. This new film follows the community’s journey. Flowing through chapters on seed, kin and spirit, we bear witness as elders and Earth recall who Artharaka are, and where they belong. A story directed by Simon Mitambo from the Society for Alternative Learning and Transformation (SALT) in Kenya, filmed by Andy Pilsbury, and supported by the African Earth Jurisprudence Collective and Gaia Foundation.
