The documentary follows seven years in the life of one of Kenya's most infamous photojournalists. The YouTube showing will only be available to those in Kenya, and will be running for a week.It will also be shown on KTN News on December 12, 2021, after almost one million Kenyans watched Softie when it was on television in November 2021.This powerful film depicts the journey that Boniface Mwangi and his wife, Njeri, embark on when Boniface decides to take a step into national leadership and run for election in the neighborhood he grew up in; Starehe Constituency. Though Njeri has been familiar with Boniface's activism, this step throws their relationship and their family of five into unprecedented turmoil. We see an exclusive and heartfelt portrait of their home life, all flaws included, and what price is paid when an activist is asked to make the ultimate choice: do you choose those who love you, or those who don't know you exist? When it comes down to it, do you pick your family or your country?Softie premiered at the 2020 Sundance Film Festival, where it won the Special Jury Prize for Editing, and was the Opening Night Film at the 2020 Hot Docs Festival. It is directed by Sam Soko in his feature debut, and is produced by Sam Soko and Toni Kamau. The Kenyan team also includes Executive Producer Bramwel Iro and Impact Producer Miriam Ayoo.
