Somebody tell the Ghanaian I also play 😅

I had a good time watching this 🇬🇭 film earlier today. Here is my quick comment from what stood out the most.

Congratulations to @zoeymartinson 🥳👏🏾

[Brenda @brendawambui]

Just watched Matabeleland, a film directed by my friend Nyasha Kadandara/produced by Sam Soko.

It tells the story of Chris (ZW) who seeks to bury the remains of his father, a victim of Robert Mugabe’s Gukurahundi Genocide.

Watch it tomorrow @ 8pm at Unseen Nairobi @NBOFilmFest!

Now Playing:

[Mūrūthi @Ngartia]

One of the most important films on @NBOFilmFest has to be @BuildALibrary.

Following @SisterKilljoy, @ShiroKoinange and @TheBookBunk team as they reclaim and renovate the McMillan Memorial Libraries.

Question: what do we do with colonial legacy?

[Mūrūthi @Ngartia]

So glad that such things are going to Eastlands in their maturity too. Nairobi has taken enough, it is time it returned.

[Mūrūthi @Ngartia]

You don't have to believe me concerning @NBOFilmFest, nakuanga na pang'ang'a.

@elsaphan_njora is a living legend. The GOAT narrator too with an unmatched sense of humour.

[lolo 𖠋⚽︎ @osobwr]

I got to watch, “The Dog” on Friday the 17th & I thought I was supporting a Kenyan Film. There’s however enough contribution from Kenyans to feel some pride 🇰🇪

It’s the visual clue for me
& congratulations to the team.

[Archimwendes ✊🏾 @_smwende]

Perfect venue given the significance of Kaloleni Social Hall 👏🏾

[How To Build A Library @BuildALibrary]

It was amazing meeting and engaging with everyone who came through for our @nbofilmfest screening at Unseen Nairobi.

We had a full house and a beautiful conversation with co-director @maialekow and cast member, Angela Wachuka moderated by @shebahirst . 💛
