So what is the fuss about, the film deals with the friction between Muslims and Christians a very hot topic with the recent surge of terror attacks and the war in Syria. This moving film gives a sense of hope by showing that solidarity does prevail. In some parts of the world the situation is getting worse and worse. Kenya is one of those places were the mistrust between Muslims and Christians are steadily growing. Watu Wote: All of Us tells the story of the 2015 Mandera bus attack Kenya. The filmmaker says the movie is a tribute to the 28 people killed by jihadist group Al-Shabaab who attacked a Nairobi-bound bus in Mandera near the Kenya-Somali border.
