Lorang’s Way

David MacDougall
Judith MacDougall
1978 Australia 70 minutes Turkana

A portrait of Lorang, the head of the homestead and one of the important senior men of the Turkana. Most Turkana (including Lorang’s son) see their way of life continuing unchanged into the future. But Lorang thinks otherwise, for he has seen something of the outside world. This is a study of a man who has come to see his society as vulnerable and whose traditional role in it is shaped by that realization.
