Eshu's Playground

Umoja (dir. Elizabeth Tadic) tells the story of a group of Samburu women who get tired of men’s shit and start their own women-only community (as in if a man shows up and talks that macho bullshit they kindly suggest that he get the fuck out, sometimes with sticks). Saw this tonight at the Artivist Film Festival, and it was awesome.

(Pssst, notice how they didn’t need Western feminists to tell them how to liberate themselves.)
