The viewer is placed in the middle of the action when young Morani-warriors put on quite a show for the tourists and try to energize their audience. Characteristic of the film´s complexity is the depiction of making fire: over five minutes in length, we realize the young Morani are not familiar with the old tradition of fire lighting. “Really hard be good Masai” is direct cinema in a literal sense: an amazing film that carries the viewer along, without a manipulative soundtrack or the filmmaker’s intervention. | The viewer is placed in the middle of the action when young Morani-warriors put on quite a show for the tourists and try to energize their audience.
