Kenyan movies are finally making their way to international streaming platform Netflix. Two films, Sincerely Daisy and Disconnect, both directed by Nick Mutuma can now be viewed on Netflix. Sharing the good news on his Instagram handle, Nick could not hide his joy at the fact that films in Swahili are getting international recognition. According to Nick, Sincerely Daisy will premier this coming Friday and Disconnect on 16 October.
“Kenya is late to the party but we are finally on @Netflix premiering this Friday, 9th October. Thank you @startimeskenya for being the driving force behind this film, as well as the cast and crew who worked tirelessly to bring it to life. Proud of the fact that we’re exporting Swahili and telling our stories on a global platform. 70% of the dialogue in the film is Swahili. We did it guys! Kenya / Africa to the world! @shotbygiraffe.
