About People of the Horizon The Documentary

People of the Horizon offers an intimate look into their evolving story as they navigate the delicate balance between preserving their rich cultural heritage and adapting to the modern world, exploring themes of resilience, adaptation, and hope.

The documentary highlights the Maasai community’s unique position at a crossroads between tradition and modernity. By capturing their struggles with land rights, environmental changes, and social pressures, People of the Horizon serves as both a record and a catalyst for cultural preservation, actively reinvesting in Matambile’s village to promote sustainable development and honor their role in this story.
