Widow Champion 2025

Documentary

After Rhoda’s husband passed away, she was thrown off the land and endured seven tough years living in an outdoor market with her children. Many women in rural Kenya meet the same fate when deeply rooted patriarchal cultural traditions and discriminatory practices deny widows their rightful share.
