The film Wanuri Kahiu and Dada productions have been working hard on for the better part of this year is finally out in movie theaters.
From a Whisper launched September 12th at 20th Century movie theater and will play there for the next week before moving to other theaters to do the rounds.
From a Whisper is the new movie by Kenyan director and script-writer, Wanuri Kahiu. It commemorates the 10th anniversary of August 7th terrorist bombing in Kenya in 1998, in which over 250 people died and more than 5,000 were injured.
From a Whisper, shot along the thinking that fiction reveals truths that reality obscures, isn’t about the bombing per se, but the aftermath of the bombing on the lives of the indirect victims of the blast who were forced to learn how to live past the tragedy that shattered their lives.
The film stars: Tamani (Corine Onyango), an angry and rebellious Muslim teenage girl whose mother went missing during the bomb blast.

Cool! Have been waiting for this movie for weeks now….Can’t wait to see it.
Can anyone tell me what time the movies start at 20th century. And is it correct there’s only one in Mama Ngina Street?
Thanks,
Corien
