Finding Kenya's lost soldiers

This powerful and sensitive film, shot entirely on location in Nairobi, Kitui and Tsavo, was directed by British film-maker Cal Murphy Barton through Bold Content Video. 

It tells the story of Esther, a war widow who waited 79 years to receive news of her husband, Kwaheri Mutava, in the hope he would return. 

The film follows the CWGC’s field investigator Patrick Abungu, who talks of his search for Mutava’s burial place, capturing Esther’s touching moment of closure as she is given photographs of her husband’s war grave in Kolkata for the first time. 

The release of the eight-minute feature marks the East African Remembrance weekend with a live screening in Kenya.
