Reel #20, circa 1975
Scope and Contents
Side 1: Speaker/translator is talking to people working on a farm. He speaks mostly in what sounds like Swahili but with a little English mixed in. At one point someone tells a folk story about a woman by a river and an evil spirit. Moris' voice can occasionally be heard in the background. At the 9:30 min mark, a man sounds like he is reading or reciting a prepared speech in English. He talks about social problems in Kenya, such as the disillusionment of people leaving villages to make their fortunes in towns. Additional interviews with farmers start playing after the 30 minute mark. Side 2: Interview with a Chief Benjamin(?) at his farm. This interview might be in Maa/Maasai.
