The complexities brought about by this modernization are shown as two fathers and their sons confront difficult choices between old ways and new. Kenya Boran Part I was designed to provide the social, economic, and political background of the Boran and introduce themes developed in detail in other films. It is especially important to establish a base line for traditional lifestyles and attitudes, increasingly subject to pressures-both intentional and incidental-for change.a film by David MacDougall & James Bluepart of the Faces of Change seriesdistributed by Documentary Educational Resources
