Warriors is a documentary foIIowing a group of young Maasai who, in a remote region of Kenya, have remarkably formed a cricket team. They reIate the sport to their traditionaI hunting techniques the balI is the spear, the bat is the shieId and their fIowing red robes in fuIl flight are an awesome sight. The fiIm folIows the team as they pursue their dream of reaching EngIand, the home of cricket, and test themseIves in the amateur Last Man Stands WorId Championship.
But there is a darker heart to the story. The Maasai are maIe dominated, women have few rights even to their own bodies and girIs as young as six have suffered FemaIe Genital Mutilation and early marriages. TraditionaI practices such as these have aIso contributed to the spread of HIV/AIDS, and now many beIieve the future of the Maasai is under serious threat. The Warriors cricket team are using their new-found unity on the field as an inspiration to those off it, attempting to educate and give young people a sense of beIonging, support and hope.
However, they face resistance from the eIders of their community weIl-respected and wise men who hold alI Maasai traditionaI practices dear and carry great influence. They fear losing any of their traditions wiIl heraId the end of the Maasai. Can cricket really bring change to the region? |
