Judy Kibinge's moving, beautifully filmed narrative is set in the period subsequent to the civil unrest that erupted in Kenya after the disputed 2007 elections and left over a thousand dead and hundreds of thousands displaced. A woman awakes in a hospital and learns that her husband has died in the riots, her young son is in a coma, and their farm has been destroyed. As she attempts to rebuild her life, her path crosses with that of a young man who participated in the violence. The film was released just prior to the 2013 elections, and according to the director this "meant we were confronting audiences with memories that many would rather forget."
• Written by JC Niala, Mungai Kiroga. Photographed by Yinka Edward. With Susan Wanjiru, Walter Lagat, David Koprotich, Anne Kimani. (85 mins, In Swahili with English subtitles, Color, Digital Video)
