Showtimes & Premiere Date For Local Gangster Film Announced

It’s sad how you rarely see high quality films being made in Kenya. Even sadder is that even the few ones that get made rarely get a theatrical run. This year, we will get to see a locally made film get a premier and even have some cinema time.

Nairobi Half Life, the much anticipated Tosh Gitonga-directed gangster film will premiere on Thursday and open to the public the following day on the 31st of August. The film will screen at Planet Media Cinemas at Westgate during the 3.20 p.m. and 7.30 p.m. shows every day.

The film thrilled South African audiences during its world premiere at the Durban International Film Festival last month, even winning a Best Actor award for Joseph K. Wairimu. The actor won for his portrayal of Mwas, a young man who’s had enough of village life but finds city life overwhelming after he joins a gang.

Ticket prices are Kshs. 350 on weekdays and 450 on weekends. Check out the trailer below.
