  • "Chronicles the stories of four East African girls from Kenya: their hopes, dreams and the harsh realities. In a society rich with tradition but surrounded by the opportunities and temptations of the modern world, this film explores the dilemma regarding whether women can develop a new role for themselves without destroying the society that nurtured them."
  • "Explores the pressures on female adolescents in the Third World through the stories of four young Kenyan women growing up in a time of cultural upheaval: Christine, a Maasai who escaped an arranged marriage so she could study law; Dekha, bought up in a rigidly patriarchal Muslim town, who aspires to be a doctor; Anastasia, who works on her family's farm while yearning to become a Catholic nun; and Mboone, who dreams of exchanging her affluent urban lifestyle for a career of service in the U.N., to help inprove the lives of women all over the world. Female circumcision, polygyny, AIDS, reproductive choice, equal access to education, and other issues are discussed with candor."
