The leader of Kenya's opposition has called for the African Union to send peacekeepers to help stem violence sparked by the country's disputed presidential election. Still, homes and tea plantations were torched and destroyed in Kenya's Rift Valley, forcing many to flee. The horrific developments came the day after politicians and the UN brokered an agreement which would supposedly put a stop to the bloodshed. The violence has flared up following contentious election results in December. Around 900 people have died, and thousands more made homeless.

    This pod is a cut-down from the feature-length film currently being produced by documentary filmmaker Amie Williams, shot just before the elections in Kenya. It tells the story of what was once one of Africa's most stable countries, associated with wildlife parks and peaceful sunsets, with a democracy now coming apart at the seams.
