From its very first frame, The People Shall, a film that documents a year-long chronicle of Kenya's youth-led protest, resists the polished detachment of traditional documentaries. Instead, it is brimming with candour and desperation.
The storyteller is Nick Wambugu, best known for his work in fiction and thriller genres. But here, he makes a sharp departure, driven by a vision much bigger than cinema, giving the film its emotional core and narrative sense.
