I watched this film at the Berlin Film Festival in 2007, and found it to be inspiring yet challenging. It was the best short film that I saw in the 'Generations' section of the festival.
Kibera Kid is an authentic view into life for a young boy on Kibera, that at times, though fictional, felt like a documentary. Amazing insight into the world of urban slums in Africa.
The main child is really good, I was amazed to find out that he was really from Kibera, and not a professional actors. On the minus side, though some of the supporting actors not as good. Also it felt a bit short, could have been longer.
Great for anyone interested in street children in Africa, slums, and insight into this world. Check it out if you can.
