A scene from "Bullfrog in the Sun" - Obi who has fled to his village to escape the advancing federal troops discovers the dead body of his father - one of the most ardent converts made by the missionary, that his father, Obi's grandfather fought against so furiously. 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 Africa's beauty, culture, people and leaders than anything else. Mo managed to use his cameras for more than a generation to bring Africa’s most powerful stories into world view.
