Résumé
Indiqué sur la jaquette : The Maasai leader of a Tanzanian village batteles many lions, both real and figurative, that threaten his community-'bush' lawyers, land grabbers, marauding beasts of prey, migration and lack of education. Chaiman Frank Ikoyo provides a glympse into the current world of Ilparakuyo Maasai and the ever-increasing challenges they face. He advocates education as a key to village self-determination, despite the fact that it can produce 'educated criminals'. The film depicts Ikoyo's duties as Chairman-persuadig women to send their daughters to school, interrogating spies in a lawsuit, and elicting help from a renowned elder to train young warriors in the art of lion hunting.
