How do children and young people survive in Kibera? What choices do they have?



KIBERA KID is a movie made by American filmaker Nathan Collett shot entirely on location in Kibera, with a cast from Kibera. It tells the story of Otieno, a twelve year old orphan living in Kibera with the Razors gang, his substitute family.  Otieno has to choose between a life of crime or redemption. 






KIBERA KID has won seven international awards, including the prestigious student EMMY, has been screened at 38 international film festivals and has been featured by media throughout the world. 
Teachers, professors, community organizers and religious groups have used KIBERA KID to connect with the reality of everyday life in Kibera, Africa's largest slum.
