Kenyan film Nairobby will on August 5th, 2022 make its debut on Netflix.
Nairobby is a film about six friends who have just pulled off a heist involving 37 million Kenya shilling from a school fund-raising event.
They are on the run and every decision they make will be crucial for their survival.
They have to share this money equally among six friends and that is where the problems begin.
Friendship and loyalty are thrown out the window as human greed slowly begins to take over.
Why share the money when you can have it all to yourself? Who will win in the end and who will lose it all?
Nairobby is a story about how greed can divide even the most united people.
In an exclusive interview withKiss 100 Gatero shared
"We did not have any money, we started with what we had. Do not wait for the big opportunity. The biggest challenge we had was finance.

It was very difficult."
