“Savanna Homecoming” (Part 1 of eight) profiles two women in East Africa's savanna. It is “the place where we were born,” says narrator Joe Morton. And as it happens Nairobi hair-salon owner Alice Wangui is about to give birth herself. But not in Nairobi. “I want my kid to follow the culture and know where she came from,” Wangui says. So she heads to her home village. Flora Salonik was born in a city (Arusha, Tanzania), but married a hunter-gatherer in the interior. Salonik loves him, but desperately misses her family and life in town, and has a decision to make.
