Director Statement

It is a normal sight in Kenya to see the youth taking off at the first sight of the police. They always fear wrongful arrest and false charges. The police on the other hand are used to catching young people being up to no good hence the blanket suspicion. The short film ALMOST is a story that intends to change that narrative. With a turn for the worst in the plot, we illustrate just how costly this wall could be.
