Summary This is the story of Tanzania Maasai elder Toreto ole Koisenge and his family, seen from two points in time across a thirty year divide. Toreto's life has drastically changed since anthropologist and filmmaker Peter Biella first visited his homestead three decades ago. Then, Toreto's family had six hundred cattle. Now starvation and disease have reduced the herd to twenty. For Maasai pastoralists, the world has grown smaller since the Tanzanian government forced them to give up their seasonal cattle migrations and live in permanent villages. The film draws on hundreds of photographs and audio recordings made in 1980 by Peter Biella and Richard Cross. These images and sounds, woven with contemporary video footage, create a deeply personal portrait of a family's life unfolding through three decades of tumultuous change. Winner of the Best International Documentary Award at the **Astra Film Festival.**
