In returning to the IL-Laikipiak Maasai village that her parents left when she was a child, Malih experiences an epiphany: her own life is a reflection of the myriad challenges between Maasai youth and elders, women and men, ancestral ways of passing down essential knowledge and modern methods of education.</p><p>&quot;In ENCHUKUNOTO (The Return), Malih’s singular perspective also challenges ways in which the Maasai peoples have long been seen and documented by tourists and other outsiders. &#39;Many tourists come to our Maa lands to film the lions, the gazelles,&#39; she observes. &#39;The camera takes and takes. I wonder what my camera can give my people in return?&#39;</p><p>&quot;Interweaving verite with Malih’s insights, Malih offers a heretofore unseen perspective as an insider and an outsider, a woman among men, a filmmaker carrying on sacred Maasai traditions of storytelling in an era defined by uncertainty.&quot;</p><p><a href="https://www.reciprocity.org/films/enchukunoto" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">reciprocity.org/films/enchukun</span><span class="invisible">oto</span></a></p><p><a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/IndigenousAfricans" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>IndigenousAfricans</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/MassaiPeople" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>MassaiPeople</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/WomenDirectedFilms" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>WomenDirectedFilms</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/DCEFF" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>DCEFF</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/IndigenousStorytellers" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>IndigenousStorytellers</span></a><br /><a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/IndigenousFilms" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>IndigenousFilms</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/LandDefenders" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>LandDefenders</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/ReciprocityProject" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>ReciprocityProject</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Reciprocity" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>Reciprocity</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/IndigenousFilmMakers" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>IndigenousFilmMakers</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/IndigenousWisdom" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>IndigenousWisdom</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/IndigenousKnowledge" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>IndigenousKnowledge</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Reciprocity" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>Reciprocity</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/FilmVerite" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>FilmVerite</span></a></p>
