Juliet Torome a former reporter with the Star (fastest growing newspaper in Kenya) caused a stir in the US after her documentary on African male circumcision was aired on an American TV channel.
Juliet’s documentary on male circumcision was shot in Uganda. It follows the rites the young boys go through during their initiation.
“I shot it as a by the way, I was in Uganda doing research on farmers and I happened upon the ritual,” said Torome.
The documentary was aired early this month on KMTP-TV channel 32, a non-commercial television station in San Francisco, California. This follows a lot of interest expressed by viewers who watched the documentary on YouTube.
“Male Circumcision is a hot topic here. The reception was very good because not only was the documentary interesting to watch because of the circumcision rituals, it was also informative,” said an excited Juliet.
Go Juliet!
