Coming of Age lets us see the history of Kenya in a unique manner. We get a glimpse of Kenyan politics through the eyes of a little girl coming of age. She tells about development in her country under ‘father’ Kenyatta, dictator Daniel Arap Moi, and then finally under Mwai Kibaki. She asks herself if she will ever grow up in a democracy.
The documentary received a special acknowledgment at the Africalia ‘Distinction in a Documentary’ Competition.
