Shopware - Cultural Issues in Kenya

Cultural Issues in Kenya

Exploring Kenya’s multifaceted urban and rural settings, this program looks at the various cultures found within the nation today. Viewers will experience the country’s spectacular diversity—and the difficulty of providing education and mass communication for a population that speaks well over 40 languages. Highlighting the challenges of conflicting cultural traditions and beliefs, the program looks at the nation’s extraordinary efforts in combating the HIV/AIDS epidemic. The economic and sociological dynamics of Kenya are made clear through the interactions of Kenyan students, business people, artists, community leaders, and others. A viewable/printable instructor’s guide is available online. (24 minutes)
