This film revisits a vigilante movement that arose to combat cattle raiding and gun crime among the Kenyan Kuria ten years after it had brought peace to the area. In telling the story of its origin and current operation it reveals a broad contrast between areas where it still operates, though with some difficulty, and those where it has faltered and died. In these latter areas there has been a revival of clan raiding and warfare.
