Program Title: Interview with Miyere Ole Miyandazi
Description: Miyere Ole Miyandazi is a Masai from Kenya. In 2004 he walked from Kenya to Cape Town to protest the fencing off of traditional nomadic grazing lands. Now he is at it again, walking from Cape Town to Cairo and his goal is even more ambitious - to thumb his nose at borders and boundaries everywhere. As he walks along a beach of the Western Cape he explains what moves him to risk his life on the open road, and how he gets across borders without a passport.
