Between 1952 and 1960, Britain fought a vicious war in Kenya against the anticolonial Mau Mau movement. It was an exceptionally bloody conflict, with atrocities committed on both sides.
For decades, many of the worst abuses by British colonial forces were kept hidden.
Piecing together survivor testimonies and expert analysis from British and Kenyan historians, this film tells a complete and detailed story for the first time of how Britain was involved in systemic torture - including accounts of murders, rapes and forced castrations.
A Very British Way of Torture is a film by Ed McGown and produced by Rob Newman.

At the the height of resistance to colonial rule in the 1950's at least 500k-1M kenyans, were tortured, killed, displaced or jailed in camps. After independence in 1963 Kenya introduced a new constitution with the help of THURGOOD MARSHALL(see "exporting american dreams" by Mary Dudziak),the first black US chief justice who was friends with Kenya's Nationalist leaders TOM MBOYA,JOMO KENYATTA and OGINGA ODINGA. The constitution protected racial minorities including white, asians/indians and arabs.

Gavaghan’s interview gave me chills. His body language shows he is lying. My grandfather was a mau mau oathist. He imprisoned in Manyani for over 7 years. His wives and children were also detained, beaten, property stolen and suffered. As a result my family is separated and divided. No one speaks about the generational trauma and effects that continues until today. There are lost generations. Our grandparents, our parents and ourselves. Broken families, alcoholism, psychological and emotional damage. I wish someone could make a documentary about this. I wish we could talk about this.

I am studying the Troubles, the conflict in Northern Ireland, where General (Sir) Frank Kitson applied his counterinsurgency technique developed in Kenya. He wrote a book, Low Intensity Operations where he outlined his strategies for counterinsurgency. By his own admission he approved and applied torture to those he questioned and incarcerated in Kenya. It never occurred to him that extrajudicial killing and torturing Black People would ever be questioned. From this he made the same arguments in Cyprus and Aden, and then finally the Irish. Seemingly anyone who questioned British rule was so far inferior to the British military that they need not be considered human.

They did all these underhanded things to the people of Kenya because they thought it would keep us under their boot forever. But that generation said, "give me liberty or death!" (Or something like that) After all this we still had to pay them some form of reparations for all the infrastructure they built here and had to keep a few expatriates around to train us how to run a country. Weirdly enough we still have some symbiotic relationship with Britain. Sometimes it feels like a toxic codependence!

You should perhaps also have an introduction to what the Mau Mau did (to mainly other native peoples). This was absent to the story and was so graphic that it probably would not pass the KZfaq censors ... they were not saints and despised by many in Kenya (black and white). This story is lacking balance and many leaders in Kenya at the time (including Kenyatta) were extremely critical of the Mau Mau and would be dismayed that figures such as Kimathi are being lionised today. You should not base your feelings on a single biased show based on poor scholarship - do your own research.

This is a familiar story for us Kenyans esp if your grandparents come from Central Kenya. My grandma always narrates the gruesome torture they bore during British Colonialism. She tells it so vividly like it happened just yesterday. It's painful to know most of it was not documented including the emotional trauma. There's no enough compensation will be able to wipe their tears. She always tells to really value the cost of our freedom because it was very expensive. It cost many lives. May God bless the souls of our freedom fighters.

The colonial superiority complex was still evident when I spent a year in Kenya in 1985, while working with the US Peace Corps (teaching math near Oyugis). I would occasionally meet a white Kenyan near Nairobi who had a disparaging attitude toward the black Kenyans. One made a mean comment about how the black women looked in polyester dresses. There were foreign missionaries from all over the world in Kenya trying to ‘save’ the black Kenyans while asking for weekly donations of coins for their small churches. I learned a lot from the Kenyans I lived and worked with. It was a wonderful place, especially far from Nairobi.

There were precious few natural resources in Kenya - it was the secondary industries that the colonists set up and English Taxpayers that largely paid for Kenya's early development. The Mau Mau was also widely despised in the 1960s - the reversal of that is a modern phenomena that is the result of a lot of bad scholarship and propaganda. I would defer to Jomo Kenyatta's assessment of the Mau Mau in which he described it as a civil war amongst Kikuyu old and new. Truth is never simple and to misconstrue events decades after they occurred is a fallacy that will create a whole new evil. History is not learned but contrived to fit a narrative that has little to do with the past.
