The Burden of Peace The Burden of Peace
Women Speak in the Aftermath of Kenya's 2007 Post-Election Crisis [DVD]
Narrated by Shailja Patel

Peace has returned to Kenya after the violence that erupted in the wake of the disputed elections in 2007. Yet for many of the country's women - killed or widowed, maimed and gang-raped, displaced and dispossessed - this is not their peace.

Their voices, recorded from across the country's kaleidoscopic ethnicities and political persuasions, ring out loud and clear in this film, speaking about the burdens women continue to bear from the past as the price for this peace.

In May 2008, South Africa was rocked by the worst xenophobic attacks that the country has ever seen. Less than a year later, the issue is almost invisible from the national election campaign. South Africa has long been troubled by xenophobia, but the 2008 attacks were the a significant escalation. Sixty-two foreigners were killed and tens of thousands of others fled their homes. The attacks which started in the Johannesburg township of Alexandra spread like fire throughout the country.
