THE OATH is a story of the Mau Mau rebellion. Were the Mau Mau freedom fighters or terrorists? For African Kenyans, the Mau Mau cry for Land and Freedom in the 1950's expressed their deepest desires. For the British colonialists, the Mau Mau were terrorists.
THE OATH is the story of two brothers, Mwangi and Joseph, during the time of the Mau Mau. Mwangi is a laborer on a white settler's farm. Joseph is a priest. Mwangi joins the Mau Mau, taking an oath to fight the white settlers. Joseph insists violence is never justified.
THE OATH is in two parts: a short story about two brothers during the Mau Mau rebellion (20 minutes) and a documentary explaining how the movie was made (10 minutes). Kenyans volunteered their time and energy as a labor of love to bring the history of the Mau Mau to people around the world.
