Although it's a small town, Bekoji is rich in stories: tales of unprecedented athletics success, stories of past and present village life, of rapid modernisation, and a history that includes its brief occupation by the Italian army in the 1930s. In Bekoji Stories, we're posting short films introducing some of the stories we found while shooting in Bekoji. You can find them by following the links on the right.
