Nawi

Thirteen-year-old Nawi is being forced to marry a much older stranger in exchange for a herd of goats. Her story is about what happens when a girl decides not to follow the path chosen for her - and the cost of saying no. NAWI exposes the brutal impact of child marriages, how they cut short education and steal away futures. It’s not just a film - it’s a way to experience what this looks like, up close. And why we need to fight for change.

NAWI is based on true events, on the winning story of a nationwide writing competition by Kenyan teen counselor Milcah Cherotich.
