Une communauté kényane ordinaire vit dans l’harmonie. Mais un jour éclate des tensions ethniques au milieu desquels de vieux amis vont être ballotés. Ce film fait écho aux violences interculturelles qui ont ensanglanté le Kenya en 2008.

It’s Us portrays a typical Kenyan community consisting of a harmonious muddle of tribes, intermarriages, and extended families. Then one day rumours begin to spread, mistrust suddenly takes hold and people are identified as belonging to a different tribe. Caught in this ripple effect, old friends begin to turn on each other and in a matter of days, the bonds and alliances that are the foundation of the community are severed. Despite its joyous vibrancy, It’s Us is a film that deals with vitally important issues, both in Kenya, still recovering from the violence of 2008, and beyond.
