Review of Nairobi Half Life (2012) by Charles M — 10 Apr 2013

Just finished watching the Movie 'Nairobi Half Life", and wow. Here is my take. Never have I left a movie theater with such a feeling of pride and also great satisfaction (you would have thought I was in the movie lol) Not only is the script brilliant, the actors are brilliant as well especially Mwas the Otesh (kudos to Mugambi Nthiga for some great acting and Michael Wanderi the policeman.

) The Directing is top notch, the editing amazing, the lighting great but above all the story is poignant, unflinching, real and hits home especially if you have ever lived in Nairobi. I can't wait for it to get to DVD, or better still we hope some networks here in the US like HBO can carry it.

Thank you all the organizers that brought it back to DFW again. On a side note, I really hope our new leaders watch it too and see the other side of Nairobi that sometimes the majority of Kenyans sometimes find themselves in.
