Out of Holland…
…and in to Africa! Kenya to be axact, 8 days of shooting for a short documentary. Our mission was to show how people live in Nairobi, thru the eyes of a European; Leon van der Zanden. We went to an orphanage, children’s hospital, slums, a dance school and finally to the Sawa Sawa Festival featuring Beef and Black Uhuru. The festival is organised by the Sarakasi trust. And it is very impressive to see what they have accomplished in Nairobi Kenya over the past few years. Rudy van Dijck (Chairman & Founder) is an amazing person whom has inspired and helped alot of young people.
I just came back from this trip and a lot of different things come to mind when I try to describe the trip. It was heartbreaking, thrilling, exciting and moving. I know that we have mostly seen what goes wrong in Kenya so my view of the country is somewhat tainted but there is much work to be done before Kenya gets what it deserves. It’s a beautiful country with beautiful people.
The documentary will be online next week and it will be showing at Festival Mundial wich is held in Tilburg on the 13th, 14th and 15th of June. I am looking forward to going back next year and show you guys more!
