Glover film No. 2, Snapshots from tsetse areas

Footage in the film is shot in various regions of Kenya starting with the West Suk. Cattle are filmed together with the villagers who tend them. Aerial shots are captured over an area of sparse vegetation. Noted in the intertitles is that 'the Malmalte river is heavily infested with tsetses'. The cattle are innoculated with drugs to protect them against infection. The next region visited is Masai, Ol Choro Oruwa Ranch, where tsetses are present, therefore land clearance including the felling of mature trees is shown with two mechanical diggers. Further aerial shots indicate the lack of biodiversity to the contemporary viewer although the intertitles indicate that 'regeneration' (of vegetation) is a problem. Game is still in the area - gazelle, giraffe and buffalo, hyena and birdlife. Next, Trans-Mara which is the site of the barrier clearing which protects the Kipsigis and Sotik communities from tsetse invasion. Vehicles are checked for hitchhiking insects. Finally, breathtaking panoramas taken from the clearing from the top of Abossi hill which separates the Kipsigis and Masai communities. Further land clearance is filmed prior to aerial shots over the land. The last sequences feature some naked adult male African villagers who are tending cattle.
