Synopsis

A new reality dawned on Kenya after the nightmare of the post-election violence of 2008. Thousands were orphaned and countless Kenyans left with terrible memories. Twenty-year-old rapper Billian Okoth also lost his parents at a young age. He knew what uncertain and dangerous times the children in the slum of Mathare would face. Billian heeded the call, and decided to help them build a future for themselves - by using music. But he is not aiming to make celebrities. He wants to make leaders. Together they rap about their brutal lives, sharing a dream of an education and a better tomorrow. But as Billian faces defeats and setbacks in his project, he decides to take a harsh decision: To go into politics. Into a political system that is among the most corrupt in the world. What will he gain? And what will the price for the achievements be?

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 5

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.
