Softie
Story
Photojournalist Boniface “Softie” Mwangi runs for office in a regional Kenyan election, which puts pressure on his young family and his idealism.
“Riveting… Eye-opening as Softie is as an immediate account of toxic Kenyan politics, it’s an equally moving marriage story, unsentimental but generously sympathetic in its study of a family brought to the brink of collapse for a greater good cause.”
Guy Lodge, Variety
