In this episode, we turn back the clock to a time when the government conned unsuspecting villagers by tricking them into giving away their cows. Unbeknownst to them the government had made a deal with a foreign private company that would establish a factory in Athi River and provide the government with a constant supply of 70,000 head of cattle. The government would then give farmers a quota of animals they were legally allowed to keep. Unfortunately for the government farmers realized they were being exploited and decided to revolt. This is the story of how those farmers fought back.
