Good Fortune plot

"There is a lot of junk, but life is okay," said a Kenyan woman about the situation in the deprived Kibera neighborhood of Nairobi. She sees the plans of the United Nations and the Kenyan government with regret. The neighborhood must be cleared to make way for new, beautiful houses. The residents of Kibera, who have seen such projects fail in corruption before, are sure they will lose their home. "A clever way to kick us out." In rural areas too, people are convinced that an important investment by the American company Dominion Farms Ltd. nothing but bad brings. According to the company, it is time to bring Kenya "to the same level of prosperity as the rest of the world". 'Good Fortune' provides an insight into the daily life of both urban and rural Kenyans, who are not interested in (white) interference from outside.
