My hope is that this film will encourage the public to reconsider its view of war, and provide a more significant understanding of the soldier 's dilemma; being ask to do their duty and kill the enemy, which inevitably leads to an emotional wound that never fully heals, the consequences of which has had a profound impact on society for generations. ~Bill |

| Maasai Mara | Sat Jun 21 | Slide Show | Diane Marron | This photo presentation takes you into the far reaches of the Greater Maasai Mara in Kenya. I had the opportunity to work at Enarau Wildlife Conservancy which was established in the Maasai Mara in 2022. I had firsthand access to the complexities and opportunities that come with starting a conservancy from the grassroots. During the two weeks at Enarau Conservancy I worked alongside scientists and local communities as part of a collective movement towards restoration. Many animals including zebra, giraffe, impala, were present as we trekked to different work sites. On a day off halfway through the expedition we did a 13-hour animal drive, capturing photos of four of the big five and visiting a Maasai village and dancing with the Maasai. I hope to convey the richness of this experience working in the Maasai Mara in this presentation. |
