Nairobi Love Story US Premiere Margareth is a Kikuyu and Eric is a Luo. These two largest tribes of Kenya are engaged in an ancient cultural and political conflict. Their parents in particular are against their relationship, but they are still together, in spite of everything. Margareth is torn apart by an inner conflict: split between tradition and modernity, emancipation and submission, inner rebellion and the inability to act. Margareth’s and Eric’s dilemma is a universal one: will they find a way to overcome both the outer and the inner conflicts in order to live their love while still being allowed to grow as individuals? Italy/Kenya, 2009, 45 min, documentary, Swahili with English subtitles, Maria Weber dir. Part of the Love Stories program. Shown with I Loved So Much.
