Synopsis
Kanairo is a story that mirrors society; the ills that society faces are represented by a man named 'Johnte.' Through 'Johnte,' we explore Kenya's social, psychological, and financial crises. 'Kanairo' highlights the plight of young Kenyan career men aged 25-38 as they struggle to navigate life and the social constructs while the option of suicide lingers around them. 'Kanairo' uses the city as a backbone to show how Nairobian struggles to keep ends meet while struggling with mental health. With the suicidal crisis looming among men in Nairobi, 'Johnte' struggles to fight the suicidal thoughts. Will he succeed? By Cecimercy Wanza
