STILLS FROM WANURI KAHIU'S FILM 'PUMZI'!
A series of stills photographs taken during the production of Wanuri Kahiu's short film, 'Pumzi'. Wanuri Kahiu, an award winning Kenyan Filmmaker, wrote and directed the film that was filmed entirely on location in the Western Cape, South Africa. These stills specifically were taken on various locations in Cape Town, Western Cape, South Africa during June 2009. The film is a futuristic work based on a devastated world without water and other precious commodities. The film, set in the Kenyan countryside, questions the price of fresh water, fresh air, fresh food and other commodities and revolves mainly around its central character, 'Asha'. The film also focuses on how to harvest moisture, energy and food in all their varied forms in order to supply the human food chain that depends on these life precious things for their ultimate survival. In the film, two friends, Asha and Wanja, are on an expedition looking for Mama Njoki, a woman known to sell intoxicating yet illegal produce. When they find her, she turns their lives upside down in an instant and gets them to question their lives and their own existential role in this world. Asha embarks on a personal quest that becomes her journey of self discovery and spiritual awakening. The film flows like its other character, 'Water', and leads us all to a realization that a world without water and a life without understanding and spirituality is absolutely no world and no life at all!
