content: Outtakes from the edited film includes footage of a funeral and burial at a local Christian church and shots of a homestead surrounded by a banana grove and fields of corn. Shots of the funeral include communal hymn singing, the pallbearers lowering coffin, and eulogizing by a preacher. At the ceremony the spiritual "We will gather at the river" is sung in Swahili. Shots around the homestead depict hoeing in adjacent field, cattle grazing, and an interview with residents about economic activities, family support, and aging.
