Kapkugo Festival 2024 | A Powerful Return to Our Roots

Kapkugo, meaning "where our grandfather hails," is more than a word, it’s a call back home. This after movie captures the soul-stirring moments from the December 2024 Kapkugo Festival, a cultural pilgrimage to Mount Elgon, the ancestral homeland of the Kalenjin people. Thousands gathered, from all 9 Kalenjin subtribes and beyond to celebrate our shared roots. 🎥 What you'll experience in this film: Traditional huts alive with storytelling, food, herbal medicine, and song Women milling grain, beading ornaments, and passing on ancestral wisdom Youth fresh from initiation showcasing what it means to grow into responsible adulthood Electrifying dances and music that brought the entire crowd to life Farmers learning, communities connecting, and healing spaces like cancer screening & anti-drug education A powerful theatrical play tracing the Kalenjin journey from Mt. Elgon to across Kenya, Uganda & Tanganyika This was more than a festival, it was a revival. A remembrance.
