Working Hard

Some highlights from the past few days:

Shooting the sunrise in Kibera - the opening shot of the doc? Faith, a Kibera trainee, visiting her former home and getting swarmed by neighborhood children. Jahill, another trainee, winding us thru a maze of dirt pathways in Kibera on his way home. Hanging out with Geofrey -- who plays Luo lead Otieno -- and his friends near Dandora. Chris -- who plays a thug named Masher -- reenacting the scene when he was shot by the police years ago. Finally getting an interview with Wilson who plays the Kikuyu star Kamau. Documenting a scene at a church that was nearly burned down during the post-election violence.

And some photos (top to bottom):
