Tupige Cinema: Youth Film Empowerment
Empowering Young Storytellers through Film
“Tupige Cinema” translates to **“Let’s Film.”** This youth-centered initiative is dedicated to empowering the next generation of storytellers to express their voices through cinema. The project nurtures emerging talent in filmmaking, storytelling, and production.
We use the power of film to address critical social themes such as identity, culture, mental health, and community resilience, providing hands-on training and a platform for authentic Kenyan narratives.
