PROJECT KAKUTA This project, has been in the works for approximately 2 years. It is a documentary on the Merrueshi Maasai clan in the Kajiado District in Kenya.I finally found a local artist in Bozeman,Montana that give me permission to use his music as the sound track. This was my biggest battle because I created version of the documentary that had sound tracks from well known movies and although I could ask for permission I decided to cancle that version entirely. I wanted to use local resources to promote local talent in Montana where I live and go to school and innovate my own movie format. It was long study on how to go about making the documentary as I am not a film student but a pre-medical student. I watched about 30 films from National Geographics to BBC films to films produced by well known organizations to films produced by students on their trips across the Globe. It was lot of work but I did it and now I'm in the final touches. Hopefully,the maasai people would like it and people in the world would see the truth about what really is going on in a maasai village on the outskirts of Nairobi. People of world have already seen documentaries made by sociologist, anthropologist and people who have good intentions but times have changed and it's about time people know what those changes are. Have a wonderful and prosperous day. will keep you posted. The feeling of breathing again..........
