We Need Prayers: A Short Film by the Nest Collective

We Need Prayers - a short film we created for our collaboration with Contemporary And is now screening here. Starring Rapcha the Sayantist and Alice Kithinji, We Need Prayers is a light take on the complex moralities used by the citizens of Nairobi (infamously referred to as Nairobbery) to navigate a city that can sometimes be vicious. This follows a much longer engagement with the idea of contemporary urban dystopias that we explored with Tuko Macho – a crime web series we created in 2016.
