Summary:

Ekisil is a story telling film but it is also corroborated by a succinct commentary meant to help the viewer to understand a very important part of life, culture and values of the Karimojong people. The film tells us about the power of friendship between Ikole a Bokora, Lokol, a Matheniko and someone who is considered a foreigner within his own land for not having abided entirely to the cultural values of his tribe. It is a friendly power that goes over tribal differences and cultural values since they save reciprocally their lives from the violence of tribal conflicts.
