Coming of Age (Short Film) ⎜WHY DEMOCRACY?

This film depicts the three stages of democracy as seen through the eyes of a girl
growing up in Kenya. The Kenyatta Era was a time of great optimism and
post-independence euphoria. It was followed by the era of dictatorship under Daniel
arap Moi, and finally the ushering in of a third president, Mwai Kibaki. But after the
disputed election results in December 2007 and the resultant violent civil strife and the
death of hundreds, we are left wondering if democracy can ever truly come of age.
Directors: Judy Kibinge
Released: 2007
