BATUK: The White Man’s Burden in Kenya is not just a documentary about a British military base where soldiers roll around in the dirt for six months before returning home to the UK. It is a documentary about abuse of power, occupation of indigenous land and the unfinished business of colonialism.

For decades, ordinary Kenyans living around BATUK have raised allegations of abuse, sexual violence, ecological destruction and impunity, while one of the world’s most powerful former colonial powers continues to operate freely on Kenyan soil, handing out small amounts of compensation whenever evidence of alleged crimes reaches the media.

At the centre of the documentary is the story of Agnes Wanjiru, a 21-year-old Kenyan woman who was tortured, killed and dumped in a septic tank, while British soldiers mocked and ridiculed her death on social media. One soldier posed in front of the septic tank and posted, “If you know, you know.” Others joked about the five-month-old daughter she left behind, posting imagery of a baby beside a gravesite.

But the story goes beyond Agnes and her tragic killing and the shocking behaviour of British troops thereafter. The documentary asks deeper questions:

How did Britain maintain a military presence in Kenya, the very same year the country supposedly gained independence?

Why are foreign troops still training on stolen land while local communities continue to suffer?

And above all, why does the Kenyan government allow all of this?

Laikipia County, currently in the spotlight because of plans for an Ebola quarantine facility for US citizens, is the very same county where the BATUK military base is headquartered. This documentary helps connect the dots about why Kenya’s political elite remain so willing to cede sovereignty to foreign powers like Britain, and why they may be willing to do the same again with the United States.

This, by far, has been my favorite Youtube episode to date. Rest in peace to the late and forever great Dr.Neely Fuller Jr.

This ancestors' work has changed my entire trajectory on life and how I decide to conduct my decisions, emotions, and connections with others. Prior to finding his work, the only other person who challenged me to think constructively in regards to my lifestyle choices were my grandparents, some of my favorite teachers, and my ex-boyfriend Quez.

As you can see, I used to love to learn lessons the hard way. But no one has quite sparked my intellect to challenge myself on why I was making the ridiculous decisions I was making quite like Dr.Fuller. His mantra was always this :

“If you don’t understand white supremacy/racism ,everything that you do understand will only confuse you..”

He didn't say this quote to confuse individuals on their ability to control their outcomes in life due to the intrusion of white supremacy. But to instead challenge the viewer to think and evaluate whether a program produced by an injustice system of racism has gotten the best of our righteous minds, behaviors, and current reality.

Anywho, this episode is dedicated to his works and how he helped change my life for the better 🤍🕊️.
