content: Edited film examines the tension being experienced by a traditional herding people, the Boran, by a growing town and a new road through their once isolated desert land. The struggles are depicted through two fathers and their sons as they confront the difficult choices between old and new ways. The film invites speculation on the outcome of their divergent ways of dealing with change. Filmed by David MacDougall and James Blue.
