"Early Marriage" - A Film about Early Marriage in Turkana, Kenya

Kalasha Award nomination 2015.
Produced by FilmAid, this film is shown to the Turkana community, located in Northwestern Kenya, to advocate against early marriage and promote the importance of educating girls. This film was produced with the full support and approval of the local Turkana community, with Turkana crew/cast, and dialogue in the local Nga'Turkana language. After the film is shown to Turkana community members, they have an open dialogue with FilmAid's Turkana facilitators about how to better ensure the education of girls within the Turkana culture.
This film is funded by the UK Government's Department for International Development (DfID) as part of the World University Service of Canada's (WUSC) and Windle Trust Kenya's (WTK) "Kenya Equity in Education Project" (KEEP).

Old men marrying children ... that's just revolting, regardless of religion or culture.

[@tyhreneshajones4183]

Johnell Whiteoak he should be put in a nursing home and he so old that the sky turn grey

Yes, he is so very old!! He must be repulsive to all three of his 'wives'? I don't see how his wealth alone can buy girl-child slaves .. Perhaps these girls' parents would prefer to secure their daughters' futures financially? They're all very beautiful girls, too .. surely the old man would value them far above any other girls, but this child is only there to bear his children and the only way this is going to happen is by rape, because she is not going to couple with him willingly..she's just a child herself, and should be just playing and learning. Child marriage in any culture MAKES ME SICK!! I wish I could rescue every one of them : (

J. Whiteoak I woke with girls in the same community in which the film is set. Only 5% of the girls are in school. It is very sad most of the are grandmother's at the age of 25. I work with girls already in school to advocate for other girls to be sent to school
