A few days ago, I saw my 14 year old male cousin for the first time in about 4 or 5 months. His voice had changed, he had grown so much taller. I couldn’t believe it. I had gone to the UK for 6 months and I didn’t realised
Thoughts started to mess with my head, ‘OMGOSH this little kid that I have watched grow up is now turning into a man. He might start going out with girls. I need to screen each girl he goes out with. I don’t want any girl messing with him. I wonder if his Dad has given him the talk!’
I happened to come across the trailer for ‘Leo‘ on THIS IS AFRICA. I began to chuckle as I was watching it. They were addressing the thoughts I was having relating to my cousin.
Leo is a charming and beguiling adult fairy-tale set in Nairobi, a Metropolitan City in Kenya that is a melting pot of East African culture, art, politics and commerce. It is a story about Maasai boy, raised in a low-income home, achieving his dream against all odds. A simple story that captures the essence of a child’s heart still open to all the possibilities of achieving his dream in Kenya.– SHADOW AND ACT
