director Judy Kibinge for a successful production which began casting in
2011.
Hundreds of celebrities and guests turned out to watch the eighty
five minute film .But later , this flowed through a sad ambience of past memories.
As we gear into general elections the film popped up just in
time to warn Kenyans. The ending is halted with suspense and unedited news clips of real images in 2007/
2008 violence. |

The Eighty five minute film is a co production of a local company, Ginger Ink films and Germany company, One fine day films.
According to Judy Kibinge, “ It’s a reflection that we
choose how our ending flows. We should put a mirror on our faces and stop
closing our eyes. We should move forward and not choose violence.”
