  • The People Shall — A Film on Kenya’s Gen Z Uprising

    Unseen Nairobi Nairobi, Kenya

    The People Shall (2025) is a gripping documentary directed by Nick Wambugu and Mark Maina, chronicling one of the most defining moments in modern Kenyan history.

    When Kenya’s Gen Z took to the streets to reject the 2024 Finance Bill, they reshaped protest itself — using phones, art, humour, and digital mobilisation to force political accountability. What began online spilled into the streets, evolving into a movement that compelled the President to back down and permanently altered civic resistance in Kenya.

    This film captures that transformation: from hashtags to history.

    Beyond the story on screen, The People Shall carries a deeper purpose. After surviving state detention, director Nick Wambugu now faces Hypocellular MDS, a rare bone marrow failure disorder. Proceeds from donation tickets directly support his medical treatment — giving audiences a chance not just to witness history, but to stand in solidarity with the people who documented it.

    Select screenings include donation tickets and a Director Q&A session, offering audiences a chance to engage deeply with the story and its creators.

    This is not just a screening.
    It is memory, resistance, and responsibility.

  • Matatu Musical

    KENYA NATIONAL THEATRE Nairobi, Kenya

    A bold stage production that tells the story of Kenya’s political journey, woven into the vibrant, chaotic world of matatu culture. It’s a journey through decades of corruption, betrayal, and resilience punctuated by rebellion, hope, and therelentless spirit of ordinary Kenyans.
    The musical moves through different regimes, exposing the alliances, betrayals and broken promises that have defined Kenya’s leadership. But just when the passengers seem to have lost all hope, a new force emerges the awakened generation who refuse to be passengers in a vehicle that never changes direction.
