ATU WOTE/ALL OF US
Director: Katja Benrath
GERMANY & KENYAN/23MINS/2017
[Moose with Sunglasses]
Watu Wote (All of Us) is a beautiful film showing the tragic devolution of religion as a set of guiding principles. As the conflicts between ideologies clash and intolerance grows, the outcome is a highly volatile and dangerous world. When blind faith rules, no one is safe.
For almost a decade Kenya has been targeted by terrorist attacks of the Al-Shabaab thus fueling an atmosphere of anxiety and mistrust between Muslims and Christians. The film is based on true events that happened in December 2015, when a bus was attacked and the Muslim attackers sought Christians on the bus, but the Muslim bus passengers showed that solidarity can prevail.
