REVIEWS

"It's good to see that film is no longer just for entertainment but also for enhancing knowledge, inspiration and instigating change in the society through story telling"

TIMOTHY OWASE- CEO KENYA FILM COMMISION

"Mercy is not a film that begs for sympathy, but it strives for change."

GEORGIA FERNANDES- WRITER MERCY

When the emotional and physical well-being of vulnerable citizens is pushed to inhumane limits we narrow the gap between fiction and reality and with it destroy lives. The only way to bring society together so we deal with our social ills is through films and drama capturing or depicting our social ills. Mercy the move did this so well.

HON. ESTHER PASARIS- NAIROBI CITY COUNTY WOMENS REPRESENTATIVE

"At the moment where you choose silence, you forget what matters, and who matters. “You forget those important stories.”

ADELLE ONYANGO-KENYAN RADIO PRESENTER, SOCIAL ACTIVIST AND MEDIA PERSONALITY

"Bringing this film to life was a true honor, as it sheds light on the experiences of countless women who are often overlooked. Through art and storytelling, we have the power to inspire positive change and uplift marginalized communities. I'm proud to have directed 'Mercy', a film that stands as a beacon of hope for young girls everywhere who deserve to be heard and protected."

ZIPPY KIMUNDU- DIRECTOR MERCY
