Movie Reviews of Masai: The Rain Warriors
Movie Review: One of the Best African Films I Have Ever Seen
Summary: 5 Stars
The West used to call Africa the "Dark Continent" and in some ways the
description still holds because the attitudes about Africa have not changed. Most movies depict the earlier African natives as uncivilized savages or hotbeds of chaos, disease, and war. This film is a beautiful set piece that restores to the African people the dignity which they deserve.
Situated in Kenya, the Masai land is suffering from drought and famine...so the wise elders understand that the land can be cured if the Great Lion is conquered. Should that happen, the rains will arrive and bring life back to the region. So a group of teenage warriors are chosen by the village to undergo a life or death quest to find and kill the lion.
What makes the film so moving is that the Masai people and customs are shown exactly as they are...the young men otherwise are neither stick heroes or villains, but a group that fights and agrees among each other as they attempt to fulfill their quest and save their village. Filmed beautifully in color, it is epic in scope.
Everyone I have shown this film has thoroughly enjoyed it...so search it out and learn about a culture that rarely is portrayed as it actually is.
