Softie

By Sam Soko

Softie is a deeply personal documentary that captures what is the generally accepted norm of doing politics in East Africa. It uses the complex life of photo journalist turned activist Boniface Mwangi to tell a larger story about belonging, politics and what it means to be Kenyan. The film’s impact campaign worked to provoke conversation and provide Kenyan audiences with an opportunity to unpack their role as voters, bring new light to the role of activism and activists, and increase civic engagement on demanding accountable and transparent leadership.
