This 1964 film “Born Free”, was filmed in Kenya, based on the novel by Joy Adamson. The book, was at the top of The New York Times Best Seller list for 13 weeks, and described raising Elsa, an orphaned Lioness cub, to maturity. Kenya's renowned photojournalist Mohamed Amin, also known as 'Six Camera Mo' was best known as a great frontline photojournalist, but he spent more time documenting his country’s beauty, wildlife, culture, people and leaders than anything else. Mo managed to use his cameras for more than a generation to bring East Africa’s most powerful stories into world view.
