We were pleased to host a courtesy meeting with the Kenya Film School and Green Army, bringing together creativity and environmental action.

The engagement explored how we can partner to support climate action, in line with the President’s directive including using film and storytelling to promote sustainability and influence positive change.

This aligns with our mandate to grow the film industry while championing impactful content.

Together, we move with the purpose on Go Green, Go Clean.
