Here, set against the backdrops of
Nairobi city and the beautiful landscape of Uhuru Park (Maasai
country), a Kenyan choir sings the Indian national anthem.
The director has chosen the Indian anthem because Kenya is home to a
sizeable Indian population (including Sikhs & Jains also) of
approximately 2.5 million, most of them descendants of the East
African Railways labourers who were brought over by the British
during the late 19th and early 20th centuries when the British
colonialists ruled Kenya and the rest of the East African region.
Leading
film-makers are seeking to change the way we think about other
countries. This is one of a powerful series of films to be shown on
Pangea Day, May 10, "the day the world comes together through
film".
See all six anthems. Then visit http://www.pangeaday.org
and register your screening for May 10. It's time to imagine a
different world.
