Kenyan Beauty
Lupita is easily becoming Hollywood's sweetheart° I first watched her in a kenyan serie 'shuga' her performance breathtaking now an academy award nomination for
Best supporting Actress.
True Inspiration
Lupita gave a heartwarming,
emotional acceptance speech where she thanked
her team and “12 Years a Slave” director Steve
McQueen, while her Best Supporting Actress
contenders Julia Roberts and Oprah cheered her
on from the audience. Lupita also dedicated the
award to her late uncle who always supported
her acting dreams:
“I want to thank my team and my family
for their support and I’d like to dedicate
this to my uncle —- who always came to
watch every single play I was in. At one
of the last performances he saw me in he
said, ‘You’re good, but let’s see what
Hollywood thinks of you.’ He didn’t live
to see this day, but I’m sure he’s proud
of me.”

The Route Movie screening
A story
brilliantly brought to life by Jayant
Maru.
Samantha (Sharon Detoro) is an
ordinary 17 year-old girl living in a
small village in rural Uganda. That
is until her father dies
unexpectedly. Staring in to the face
of poverty with no way for her and
her hapless mother to fend for
themselves, and no school fees,
Samantha ultimately comes to an
idea that has probably crossed the
mind of every Ugandan, somewhere
in the village, backed into a corner
by poverty; Go to Kampala City.
Having been shot down by her
mother, Samantha decides to run
away. When she flags down, and
enters that stranger’s car to
Kampala, she sets into motion a
chain of events that take her on a
gruesome journey. A journey
accentuated by rape, prostitution,
slavery, unwanted pregnancy,
battery. A journey that is every
woman’s nightmare.
