Mountain Ave, Fort Collins, CO 80524), in conjunction with the current exhibit featured at the gallery. The film, created by Lindsay Simpson and Joana Roque de Pinho, documents the project organized by Roque de Pinho, in which she placed cameras into the hands of the Maasai people of Southern Kenya, allowing them to creatively document their lives and culture.
