Dennis Okari Opens Up What He Went Through During the Making of ‘The Children Of A Lesser God’ Investigative Piece
NTV’s Dennis Okari is known for his generally impeccable investigative stories and from what I gather his latest piece ‘The Children of a lesser God’was no different. He killed it on this one.
But he says it was not all sunshine and rainbows in the making of this piece as it took a toll on his emotions. He admits that he was emotionally and physically drained from all the tragic stories of the Garissa Students.
This is what he wrote;
I have to admit, I cried a lot while writing the script and going through hours of footage of the agonizing and untimely deaths of the Garissa Students. I have never felt emotionally and physically drained doing a story like this one. I will NEVER forget those faces and names especially Stella’s family. I looked into the eyes of Mama Stella and I was broken at what I saw. Pain, agony and a deep cry that can’t be summarized in words. My prayers for the families that are still searching for answers. God is with you during this trying times.
Thank you for your feedback everyone. Let’s remember to pray for these families.
