Building a community, one book at a time. In the heart of Nairobi, two intrepid young women, Shiro and Wachuka, set out to transform a crumbling colonial-era library into a dynamic cultural hub for the city’s youth. What begins as a vision for creative revival soon becomes a powerful act of reclamation, as they navigate political hurdles, secure funding, and confront the lingering shadows of colonial legacy. With vibrant energy and unshakable determination, the duo confronts tough questions: when to compromise, and when to fight for their ideals. Bursting with charm and purpose, this delightful film celebrates youth activism, cultural rebirth, and the real work of decolonisation.
