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.

As someone from Mt Kenya where the rebellion began, I'm glad that my grandmother who was part of the struggle and all these freedom fighters got to outlive some of those who authorized these atrocities. We'll never forget. God bless Kenya🇰🇪

The British had gulags, torture chambers, concentration camps and apartheid system. When you hear apartheid you think about SA but it was also very real in Kenya. I really hope more people and specifically Kenyans will be taught about these horrid times in their history. Also, I'm working collectively with a group of young Kenyans to document this. Happy Jamhuri Day Kenya.

As a South Sudanese who have read a lot about colonialism in books especially in Kenya I can sincerely confirm that the history is much shallow in books than how it it actually,This video need to be showed to every student doing history in school.Much much love Kenya.

The immense courage of those who finally stood up and said "no" to the abuse and dehumanizing, is a powerful message to anyone anywhere suffering similar things. It is almost like the eleven martyrs opened the door in the heavenly realm for their entire nation to be freed. Thank you for bringing us this history of Kenya 🙏

I am 37 years old and remember reading and learning about the Mau Mau movement back in primary school in Lusaka. Thank you so much for this documentary. I had no idea how bad it was for our African brothers and sisters.

It flips the script as to whom is uncivilized. That was a strong line.

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.

My grandmother used to tell me how they(the women) would go to Mt Kenya forest and leave food at a certain place so that the maumau who was mostly their husbands and fathers would not starve.... I feel so emotional watching this coz it hits home. She passed on in December 2021 and May God keep resting her soul in peace🕊️

This should be constantly played in all high schools in Kenya to make sure each generation understands and sees what 'colinialism' really meant. reading is one thing, seeing is another. Amazing work al Jazeera !

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.

Whenever you ask an elder wholived through this ,"what happened?/was happening?" You always watch their faces and emotions change drastically. The memories haunt them decades later

Thank God for the freedom fighters. I'm a descendant of Indian indentured laborers from Guyana. I'm now learning my own history and will devote the rest of my life making sure that colonial atrocities all the the world do not get forgotten. How much heartache can one endure. We owe it to our ancestors to tell the story.
