Masaï : The Rain Warriors (France, Kenya)
Directed by Pascal Plisson
2005, 94 min.
In Maa with English subtitles
Faced with the drought that endangers the continuity of their people, Masaï elders are convinced that they have been cursed by the Red God, the God of Vengeance. Following the death of the war chief, a group of adolescents must now cross over to adulthood to form a new generation of inexperienced but brave warriors. Their mission is to bring back the mane of a legendary lion to appease the wrath of the Red God and bring back the rains. Masaï is the first film to be solely populated by Masaï and spoken entirely in their native tongue.
