1996 saw the last great gathering of Africa's Massai tribes. A major & unique ceremony - called Eunoto - where the five principal clans would come together once in every 14 years. The government of Kenya has since banned the event.

Ketende, the elder, recalls a time where the Massaïs tribes, both warriors and nomadic pastoral people, were living in harmony with Nature.

He invites us to relive the highlights of his youth, the rites and traditions of the Massais, but also the first signs that announced the death of his people.
