Know Kenya More Through Films
A man from the Western Province has a dream: to come to Nairobi to find a worthy life.
After the initial culture shock he settles in the Mathare slums
Before he can say dream, love rewards him with four daughters
It’s a story of acceptance and love, with the main theme on HIV/ AIDS,
told in a fun way that reflects life in the ghetto.
A SAFE production.
Sunday, 26 May, 2013
Louis Leakey Auditorium, Nairobi National Museum,
Refreshments 2.15 pm, Starts 3.00 pm.
Donations: Ksh 400 Members
