Runtime

Drama

Synopsis

Kienyeji tells the story of two university students, Cynthia and Charlie, from conflicting Kenyan communities who fall in love and plan to marry despite their families' opposition. The narrative explores tribalism and cultural differences as their attempts to unite face challenges, including a failed ruracio due to unpaid dowry, food poisoning at a second attempt, and ultimately, divorce pressured by Charlie's father. Amid exams, financial struggles, and personal setbacks, their journey unfolds with Ohangla and Mugithi music, raising questions about love and tradition. Will love triumph, or will societal pressures prevail?

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 13

These are the principals we have on file — the full crew ran to the hundreds. Every film this size was made by far more hands than any credits list ever names.

Why a floor?

This is a minimum, not a total. We only count the credits we’ve captured so far, and coverage is uneven — a blockbuster might show a few hundred names while another of the same size shows a couple dozen. The real crews all ran into the thousands. The number here only grows as full credits are enriched — so we frame it as a floor, never a headcount.
