Ndoto Za Elibidi, is a 2010 Kenyan film. [1] This is a story about two brothers who travel to Nairobi to find work. Against the backdrop of the crowded city, the play tracks their fortunes and those of their children as they struggle with questions of love, loyalty, ignorance, and forgiveness, interspersed with songs and lots of humour. With the help of a Keep A Child Alive grant, S.A.F.E. created Dreams, their first feature film, in 2009. [2]
Ndoto Za Elibidi [3] was devised originally as a stage play for actors from the Nairobi slums. The story pivots around the theme of acceptance and love as its colorful protagonists—parents, four daughters and their lovers - come to terms with HIV and ghetto life. Cutting back and forth from fiction to documentary, from the original stage play to the actual locations, it takes us on two parallel journeys: we watch the story, but we are also watching it through the eyes of the ghetto audience. [4] Through the film difficult topics such as PEP treatment for rape victims, ARV use, stigma and discrimination, condom use and circumcision are covered.
