This is a portrait of Rodah Nafula Wekesa. She is a Kenyan widow who acts as an advocate for other widows who are in danger of losing the land they lived on. The laws in Kenya favor men and once the patriarch of a family dies other people start circling trying to steal the land for themselves.
This is a largely verite look at Wekesa doing what she does, talking to widows and then trying to get an agreement that favors the women. Its a low key film with a lot of talking, particularly by people just sitting around. It's interesting, but at the same time I drifted off.
If the subject interests you give it a try. If it doesn't step away.
