Nairobi Half Life (2012)

Mwas, a young aspiring actor from upcountry Kenya dreams of becoming an accomplished actor one day, and in pursuit of this, he makes his way to Nairobi, the city of opportunity. He quickly understands why Nairobi is nicknamed Nairrobery as he is bereaved of all his money and belongings and left alone in a city where he doesn't know a soul. Luck or the lack of it brings Mwas face to face with the city's criminals and forms a friendship with a small time crook who takes him in. He is quickly drawn into a world of crime as he struggles to pursue his dream of becoming an actor. Keeping the two worlds separate proves to be a challenge for Mwas as he steps into this unknown world called Nairobi.

A great crime film with a vibe similar to "City of God", and with beautiful cinematography and editing that you don't see too often in African films.

Pretty good. Takes you through the hassle n bustle of being a young upcoming dude in a young country. The section in Central Police Station was however too graphical. Thumbs up though.

This movie played at the New African Film has festival in Washington D.C. It was a great movie and seemed really 'authentic'. The movies plot has a surprise ending and the message in the movie is purposeful. It is worth watching and I hope to see more movies from this director!

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.

We think our big cities are rough...I wouldn't last an hour in Nairobi if this portrayal is accurate!
