A nominee for Grand Jury Prize at Sundance this remarkable, suspenseful documentary is the story of a political activist in Kenya – Boniface “Softie” Mwangi who decides to run for office amidst incredible corruption.

And Boniface soon finds that challenging strong political dynasties is putting his family at risk.
