On December 7th, Makosa Ni Yangu made history with Africa’s largest movie premiere, drawing 5700 attendees to the Sarit Expo in Nairobi.
Showcased on the largest screen ever used in Kenya, the event was a powerful blend of art and activism, uniting audiences in the fight against gender-based violence.
The premiere, part of the Trinity Experience, was an unforgettable celebration of storytelling, music, and cultural impact:
Jyuuce Party: Storytelling legend Abel Mutua moved audiences with an emotional tribute to Krupt.
Movie Premiere: Makosa Ni Yangu took the audience on a raw and unflinching journey through domestic violence and survival.
Live Music: Show-stopping performances by H_Art the Band and a surprise appearance by Sanaipei Tande elevated the night.
Why This Film Matters
In a year where femicide cases in Kenya have hit alarming levels, Makosa Ni Yangu is a wake-up call for society. It tells a raw, real story inspired by true events first shared by Abel Mutua on his Mkurugenzi YouTube channel. The film challenges silence, complicity, and the societal norms that allow abuse to thrive, making it one of the most important films of our time.
Kenya Leads African Cinema
Makosa Ni Yangu sets a new standard for African cinema, demonstrating Kenya’s ability to tell globally relevant stories with local authenticity.
Phil It Productions, led by Philip Karanja and Abel Mutua, continues to redefine African storytelling, creating bold, unapologetic films that resonate deeply across borders.

After the Sold out show Abel Mutua wrote;
“Wueh!!! Wakurugenzis will make you feel like a King I swear. Hivi ndio mnachochanga wasanii mpaka wanaingia siasa Wallahi. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣. Felt so nice paying tribute to Krupt… A Kenyan Music Legend that left us too soon. But one thing is for sure, the warmth that he got from Wakurugenzi definitely had him smiling from above. Na tukimalizia bado tunainsist ya kwamba @blessednjugush ni,”.
