It’s an all-Kenyan affair this time at the Mengi Mengi Film Club. We follow the troubling encounters of Mama Margaret Kamango and her beloved grandson Karisa in The Letter (2019) by Maia Lekow & Chris King. The documentary explores fear, greed and the dangerous clash between Christian evangelism and superstitious beliefs. Hope springs eternal in Wanuri Kahiu’s PUMZI (2009). It is a necessary tale in this era of climate change.  

Free entry. Limited seating. Screening starts promptly at 1PM.

I’ll be leading a Masterclass alongside Dr. Eghosa Imasuen, Anwuli Ojogwu, Edwige Dro and Lerato Mogoatlhe at 2nd edition of CANEX Africa in Abidjan, Ivory Coast. (24 -27 November, 2022). I’ll be talking about all things creative writing with focus on film.
