Watu Wote: All of Us

2017 · 22 min

A taut, quietly harrowing bus ride that builds dread before turning into a moving testament to human solidarity.

Overview
For a decade Kenya has been targeted by terrorist attacks of the Al-Shabaab. An atmosphere of anxiety and mistrust between Muslims and Christians is growing. Until in December 2015, Muslim bus passengers showed that solidarity can prevail.
