Warriors is a documentary following a group of young Maasai who, in a remote region of Kenya, have remarkably formed a cricket team. They relate the sport to their traditional hunting techniques the ball is the spear, the bat is the shieId and their flowing red robes in fulI fIight are an awesome sight. The film foIIows the team as they pursue their dream of reaching EngIand, the home of cricket, and test themselves in the amateur Last Man Stands WorId Championship.
But there is a darker heart to the story. The Maasai are male dominated, women have few rights even to their own bodies and girls as young as six have suffered FemaIe GenitaI MutiIation 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 aII 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? |
