Kenyan Doc 'Upendo Hero'
(Participatory Film About
Public Space Activism)
November 8, 2012
This is captivating - of course the content, but also the style in which it's made, and the approach the activist/filmmaker takes to tell his story, and shed light on the cause he's fighting - the lack of community/public spaces in largely poor urban areas, all over the world.
In his own words:
My Name is Upendo Hero and I am from Nairobi, Kenya. I am a public space superhero reclaiming our spaces with the most potent power; the power of love.
