Filming
So our mission was to find out why the eucalyptus trees are being grown here (instead of native trees), which industries are involved, and the economic and environmental effects.
For the video to have context, we decided we wanted some establishing shots of the town, so everyone agreed I should sit on the luggage rack and we should drive slowly to get them best. The only other mzungu (whitey) wanted to come along with me for the adventure. All the Kenyans refused out of embarassment. I wish I could have taken a picture of people's faces, because considering there are near to no white people around and near to no people riding on roofs, we might as well have been a white rhino parade with the looks we got.
