content: Film outtakes from the American University Field Staff "Faces of Change" film series documenting nomadic cattle herders, the Boran, who live in an isolated area of northern Kenya. Film footage documents Boran cattle herding practices, gender roles, and lifestyle. Emphasis is placed on the challenges to their traditional lives with Kenyan nationhood, government programs, education, and economic development. The films "Boran Herdsman", "Boran Women", "Harambee: Pull Together", "Kenya Boran I" and "Kenya Boran II" were produced from this film project. Filmed by David MacDougall and James Blue.
