Laissa Malih (IL-Laikipia Maasai) is the first female Maasai filmmaker. Her work focuses on documenting, linking, amplifying and scaling up youth and women's voices across diverse Indigenous cultures in Kenya and the world. Her 2020 documentary, RIVER OF BROWN WATERS, looks at the significance of the Ewaso Ng’iro, a river that serves as a lifeline for pastoralist communities surrounding Mount Kenya, and as a focal point for community traditions and identity.
