       Documentarians Maia Lekow, a renowned Kenyan musician/filmmaker, and her Australian-born husband and co-director Christopher King have given Kenya and the world a point-by-point project outline on how to snatch an outdated institution from the ashes and make it appropriate for the new world. They’ve chronicled the work of a writer named Shiro and a publisher named Wachuka. Two feisty, spirted academics who are turning a symbol of segregation into a lesson on perseverance and community building. The women get a 5-year government contract to renovate and refurbish a library that was segregated until 1958. They tear it apart and build it back up.
