Umoja: The Village Where Men Are Forbidden plot

A handful of women raped by British soldiers and disowned by their families have founded the village of Umoja in northern Kenya. In contrast to the neighboring villages, there is no female circumcision at all. These women go their own way on their own. Their struggle ensures that their spokeswoman, Rebecca Lolosoli, is among those present at the African summit in Nairobi.
