NAIROBI HALF LIFE | Best Kenyan Movie ever in English | TidPix

- Опубліковано 1 жов 2024
- A young aspiring actor from upcountry Kenya dreams of becoming a success in the big city. In pursuit of this and to the chagrin of his brother and parents, he makes his way to Nairobi: the city of opportunity. He quickly understands why Nairobi is nicknamed Nairobbery as he is robbed of all his money and belongings and left alone in a city where he doesn’t know a soul. Luck, or the lack of it, brings him face to face with two groups of downtown crooks and he forms a friendship with a young small time gang leader who takes him in.
Drawn into a new world of theft and violence, he still tries to pursue his dream of becoming an actor. Keeping the two worlds seperate proves to be a contest for him as he struggles to survive in this unknown world called Nairobi.

Why is everyone crying for Netflix lets come up with our own platform as Africans
Showmax is that platform
@@jimmykarago2598 show max ina work poa ama
@@alfanm.8221 Showmax iko poa. It has so many african shows and series. Its owned by the guys that own multichoice.
@@jimmykarago2598 thanx wacha nitaidownload ju manze na taka nicheki movie za kenya mbaya
True👌🏾
One minute silence for all the people who are not aware the kind of movies we have in our beloved country and continent ❤
Wallahi
Manze!! Haki tunalalia talanta.

please suggest other kenyan movies with English subtitles, I've fallen inlove with Kenya
lol here 😂
Nimeitazama mwanzo hadi miwsho hii kenya movie HALF LIFE from Tanzania like zenu wakenya
Shukran dadangu.
Mi boy wewe
HAHAHAHA

The first one is very important
I cried. I can't believe I cried. I am Nigerian. I watched this movie with the motive of learning Swahili, but I have learned more than Swahili. The storyline, the setting, the structure of the movie, and how great Africans are. I am proud of my continent, Africa, I am proud of being black, and I am proud of Kenya for bringing out this great piece. Love from U.S.A 😍. Asante sana.
Even me I cries when I watch Nigerian movies
And now Oti is no more😭😭😭...may his soul rest in perfect peace🕊
What happened to him
Hii movie sijui ni ya 2011 but still on fire....react if you agree😎
Ni ya 2013 ...I rem I was in 1 st year tukiwatch
I agree
Akiii na inahit sai?
2012 braza nd shuga is another banger ..now in 2020 I get to see how gg was before a governor.
😎
I think this movies should be played in famous tv stations to create awareness of the great talent 🇰🇪🇰🇪 who is in support with me✊✊
Totally agree
Yeah but its an old movie
@@stacybrenda9409 old movies aren’t played on tv? That’s the stillest argument I ever heard. Most tv stations actually look for old movies because they’re cheaper to air. OP is right. If ntv/Ktn/etc cared about local content they would air this and other movies like it occasionally.
Me 💪 and we should play a part too

This movie needs to be on Netflix or somewhere so everyone can watch it such a good movie hope im not the only Caucasian girl watching 🥰🥰
It is a surely a great movie !
Very sure
Make two of us......am male though😂
It’s a brilliant movie, I enjoyed it so much
Hello Christine, it's going to be soon on our new plateform (OAFF) Online African Film Festival, with all the subtitles ;)
oaff.cinewax.org
Am I the only watching this in 2021. I am all teary. If only as many people could watch this movie. It's really saddening where most people think Nairobi is the place to be. But if only most of us knew just how much goes on. We would tred carefully.
Thank you @Tosh Gitonga and the whole production team. This is truly a wonderful play. The actors breathtaking kudos guys.
Hoping to see more Kenyan movies from you guys.
Never walk alone 😂 .

This movie hits differently when you are actually familiar with the streets. Such a masterpiece!
Real Nairobi life.
💯
sure..coz you feel like your are an actor too
It is inspired by true stories. We all relate but only Nairobians understand it better.
It touched my soul
Watching from NIGERIA. You Kenyans are too much. Love the theme and the structure. Proudly African.
Thanks Foley. Love from Kenya.
What do you mean by that, 'kenyans we are too much '
@@infinitejock.2435
I perceived it as a 'compliment'; agreeing with the subject. Nothing 'negative'!
@@infinitejock.2435 it's just Nigerian speak for "you're amazing" "you've outdone yourself" it's a compliment
@@infinitejock.2435 Its a compliment dear. That's how we Nigerians say well done for a job well done
Studied this film in one of my Literature modules at Great Zimbabwe University. A movie full of hidden aspects. Thumps up Kenya
wow
That's amazing!
@@billionaireconcepts1095 0
I am also studying it at the University of Nairobi. East African Drama.
RIP OTI😭😭😭😭😭😭💯 he played his role so well,I thought he was a real criminal. R.I.P KING 👑
I like the Boy he is very confident and much love to Kenyans industries from the Gambia 🇬🇲
If only the government would support our kenyan flim makers we will be so much ahead right now
True if they choose to invest in kenyan movies I'm telling kenya will be one of the best movie producers ever.becaues we got talents
We live in a capitalist nation it isn't up to the government to do so
It isn't up to the government its upto kenyans to support their talents this well established indurstries that you see in other countries like nollywood, boolywood and hollywood they dont depend on the government, its the people who support them and watch their movies
@@leavingthematrix1261 The problem is not what the govt doesn't do; it's what it does that is the bane
Couldn't agree more 🙂🙂
This got to make it to Netflix sasa🇰🇪🇰🇪
Ilikua theater 2014 pia ikachezwa majuu
No way the ending is like thumbs down how does the whole gang just die and no ending for amina and the star 🚮🚮😂
Let's start a petition😉
@@joycemungai2168 anti climax movies are an actual thing, the writing can't be this good and then ending subpar, it's intentional. The age of happy ending scripts has been surpassed with realism which accurately depicts the subject and it's environment without exaggeration like documentary movies...
It Should it should!!!!! 💥💥💥💥
I really searched for this movie for a long time,,thanks for the one who uploaded it
No lie me too.
@@frispell same here aki
Same they should upload my life in crime
Hata mimi
I have been having it since its release
Otis performance is even beyond the Hollywood,,,this guy is in another level of action...
Truth
Sadly he's no more 😭
This is exactly what happens in Nairobi streets. I have lived for 36 years and this is the experience for years in one hour and 40 mins. In kibra, Luthuli down town, gikomba, majengo, gaza, downtown kafico center has been renamed and renovated. Thugs stealing and selling in the black market, corrupt police, daily killings, impunity, etc. Well done guys. The nostalgia is great.
😭😭😭😭😭😭.... I just realised that even though people seem fine, there's a lot they are going through offset... treat everyone kindly ♥️
Back when sheng was understandable and not this witchcraft generation... 👀

I was listening to the Kovu Challenge na enyewe it sounds like Witchcraft
It’s called evolution 🏌🏽
I just watch this movie right now, im from Serbia, Europe, this is great, im bored from hollywood boring fancy movies, this is my First movie from Kenya that i watch, and i like it a lot...i want to know more about Kenya because i am from diferent culture, and i don’t nothing, so i started with movies, greetings to all good people from Kenya.
Greetings to you too, you're welcomed in kenya 🇰🇪 the amazing and magical country
Awesome
Walk with me
Brother if only you could understand the language (good thing for subtitles) It was the best Kenyan movie ever
Look for a UA-camr called "That fire LA" promise you'll get more of our lovely Kenya from there...💯🥂
This movie has made me think twice!! I feel for my fellow Kenyans who have to go through ALL these struggles to make it in life!!
Alafu unapata tu mzazi ako ocha kazi nkutaka pesa eti mtoi wngu ako nairobi
Am from Ghana and I've watched this movie more than 3x today

If I may just ask what happened to tz films I used to love them back then but nowadays it's like they are not there
🇹🇿🇰🇪🇹🇿🇰🇪❤🧡💛
Kenyan Diaspora living in the USA. I've got to say. Best movie I've watched thus far. From the continent,.
debra chepkemoi Delaware
and there was no whiteman in production like South africa. Real Nairobi life
I've watched many African movies but this one rates as a film. This was excellent by far. Thank you for the courage to see, write, produce, and perform....art is what this is...
How this guy Mwas never made it to our screens and radio stations like the likes of Amina (Shika Kapyienga) tells you of how corruption kills talents... One of my all-time movies
For real !
Me 2
My question
I don't know why am watching this while reading subtitles yet I understand Swahili perfectly😁😁
Me too haha😂
Hehe
Me too, but ile kiswahili na sheng' iko hapa inaweza kupita
@@nicholasrioki 😅🤣yeah true
@@anastasiakirui7956 Mm na cheki eng sub coz of Kikuyu language😅😅
Forget all the others!! This movie is great! This is our own😎, so proud and happy!!
Forget Netflix, I rate this as my No. 1✔️✔️
Big Up to the Kenyan movie industry....very nice and professional, not like our bongo movie rubbish...We Tanzanian Artists have a looooot to learn from you guys....Kudos👏👏👏🇰🇪🇰🇪
Ulishawahi kuangalia SEMA ??
Na vile nilikuwa nadhani TZ movie industry iko mbele? Kweli kuna mengi sijajua. Respect from Kenya to you bro.
Mbona Simulizi Mix pia wana michezo kibao vya hali ya juu sana. Africa vibaraka chungu nzima lakini support kifedha ndio inawazuia wengi kusonga mbele. Mungu awasaidie sana wana wetu. Soma audio za Simulizi Mix.
Theme ndio tofauti bongo pia wako sawa sana brother

The way those thugs grabbed that guy in Nairobi, it's the same they do it here in Joburg 🤣🤣🤣
Oh no! I visited Jo'burg during the FIFA World Cup and was told not to walk alone. Still I've been through those underground Nairobi streets...

To non Nairobians its a movie to Nairobians its our real life being shown on the screen
Best of the best, salute you Kenya🇰🇪

Just like Tsotsi
We salute you back comrade🇿🇦🇰🇪
THE MOVIE IS A MASTERPIECE with so much to learn FROM.
20 minutes in im already traumatised
I've just finished watching a masterpiece- I've lived in Nairobi my whole life but this is a picture of the other side of the coin that I knew existed but now hits hard . Be kind to everyone you never know exactly what's going on
I'm frm tz who still watch 2021
This movie is fire......a great cast,great script,the sound effects are on another level.(i felt every gunshot in my bone marrow).....not even a netflix movie has ever left me saying that that was a great film.....nairobi half life is just another thing off this world.....thumbs up guys👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
🇬🇷🇬🇷🇬🇧
Can someone call Ezekiel Mutua for me, kindly..this is pure talent,raw talent, name it.
Watching from USA, really good movie.
Truth resonates
Yes it is🇰🇪
Who else is here to rewatch this after our comrade #Oti has fallen 😭....
He collapsed and die awuoro lit by alot
Thank you for watching Nana
Kumbe hii time yote kumekuwa na movie ya Kenya Kali sana na sijawaijua. Hivi movie imeweza sana.
Tafadhali muunde movie zingine kama hii.
I wish there could be a part 2.
This is one of the greatest Kenyan action movies ever made.
Kunayo
@@ianmuriuki9080 Iko wapi? Ama inaitwaje?
Wallai am looking for it too
To me it's the best I have ever watched
The Boy who harnessed the Wind.
This is a high quality professional film. As a caucasian male living in Australia, I have recently taken a stronger interest in African people, culture and film. Africa is much more diverse than I thought. I feel for Africans because it's very difficult to progress in life due to lack of job opportunities and corruption ( we also have those problems in Australia). I admire their strength and positive outlook on life, it's a reminder for everybody. We all have a choice to be better to those around us and treat everybody with respect. A lesson for humanity.
true..
Kenyan here.Not all African movies are 'N.G.O themed (poverty and AIDS narrative) Check out Yeleen by Malian director ,Souleymane Cisse. Francophone Africa take the cake when it comes to film in my opinion
Watching this in 2022 and feeling so teary through it.
Have we decided to be the way we are? Or have we looked away from everything that is surrounding us? Got me thinking!
Africa is going so far in the entertainment industry and I'm so proud having Kenya representing the best.
Lot off congratulations to our relatives Kenya's.... I'm heating the bell from Tanzania.
🇰🇪🇹🇿🧡💛
I'm a Nigerian but enjoyed watching your movies a lot nice one❤
Thanks for watching
We enjoy 🇳🇬 movies too.🇳🇬🇰🇪
Such a great kenyan movie..when Mwas was robbed i really felt that😥😥
Made me sad.. Imagine being in that situation at day 1...he's a fighter for sure
hii movie ilitokea nkadhani imeset standard. nothing has come even close since then
@@danonym9860 is plan B on youtube? will check out that
Plan B is nothing close to this
@@danonym9860 plan B is boring as fuck. I thought I was watching a Kenyan version of Oga movies
This and kati kati
Nairobi Half Life set the standards... apparently too high for anyone else to hit!
Softie the film has attained those standards
@@jacquelinemahugu5691 I'll have to watch it before I pass judgement
Wauz😹😹😹 I don’t know how I got myself here
I watched this movie long time ago, and watching it again after almost a decade. and can confirm for you that it's still the best Kenyan movie still.
Such a story has to seen worldwide, good actors, classic editing ,wonderful ending ,this movie represents Kenya 👍
This should get over 1 million views, guys lets promote fellow Kenyans
Probably 1 of the greatest movie have ever watched.. It always reminds me of slum dog millionaire.. The director Tosh should do something bigger than this..
your parents' reality, or whoever's' reality, is not your reality. face what you think is real for you!!, fight for your dreams!!! a great movie!! kudos
I'm from Taiwan, a Place where people from Kenya not so familiar with (cause a lot of Kenyan people I met thought Taiwan is from China)
But anyway My Point is
I'm from Taiwan and Love this great film ~ Thanks to a Kenyan friend recommend ｍe this amazing movie !!
I perfectly know where Taiwan strait is and iam kenyan.. The country which has mastered the art of making semiconductors!
@@hassangingi7033 Thank you so much for Knowing us ~
I know Taiwan formerly known as Formosa ,was under the Kingdom of China.It is an Island.

The movoe was awsome BT kenya will never support talents movie imekaa 10 good years n sai ndio inakua uploded nkt kneya manze this is bad

It has been uploaded illegally. If you want to support it, go and buy it instead of watching it for free.

Talk about supporting talents yet you haven't bought the movie
19:22 falling on a pile of sh*t scene.Forever etched in our memories💩🚾🚔😖
I was not ready 😂
You mean twas real shit
I looked away at that part
Hio part ya mashonde😂😂Afadhali waniue..watched the movie back in 2011 nkiwa form 1
The lady at the parking lot of the supermarket, was jacked in 10 seconds, I counted 😕
After watching this for the 10Th time, I’ve gotten the muscle to comment. I own a new production house ( theatre), and it’s my dream to bring talent that is neglected and ignored on stage. I will always do my best to understand my cast. This that went on here is exactly what is happening in this country.
Yaaaani tu! It's okay! All these actors need to be owning their own Productions coz of this film! This film proved the potential for Kenyan actors to deliver to standards accepted worldwide! But because we cherish 'wazungu so much' most are just training kids in mathare!
never in my life has a Kenyan movie ever given me goose bumps hakuna but this one yawa ..thank you for the entertaining movie
Nice movie watching from south Africa 🌍 I'm impressed big up , I wish if they the is part 2.
As a Kenyan who walks on those streets of Nairobi daily, I’ve never been so proud of the talent that we have!❤️
Being new here especially from uptown jua utalala mteja 😅
Awinja n shikys kapienga representing!!

This gave me chills😭😑. Proud this is Kenyan💟

Hii movie imebidi niione Tena😍 very great movie from Kenya, like if you agree
shame to every Kenyan that tries to argue we don't have good content and simply talented artists in the industry... This is a pure Masterpiece... Genius
The movie is so realistic I love it the way everything works out systematically and alot of realism..just an episode you won't even look aside😘big up Kenya ❤❤
This movie sounds so modern na vile ni ya tene... Timeless art
I love Kenya am from Malawi
And I am a kenyan
This is a really good film. It is amazing to see Cinema and other arts coming up from countries in the African continent. I'm bored with Hollywood, there's great stories coming out from other parts of the world
a few minutes into the movie and I'm wondering is the mugging(in the daylight and in streets filled with people) a reality in the streets of Nairobi. I'm from Dar es salaam, Tanzania and mugging isn't a new thing here, in fact it is a problem here too, but it happens when it's dark and in streets that are much less crowded. As the thieves get beat up on sight and they'd dare not steal around that much people fearing for their own lives. So it's just sad seeing somebody mugged and the other passer-by just carry on with their business. Loving how genuine to the African experience this is though.
Wangapi wako huku juu ya mkurugenzi🇰🇪
Thank you for uploading this movie.....its real life of what is happening in Nairobi.Starting life from nowhere its not that easy
First time to watch this and it's lit, we're busy looking for other movies with content outside yet we have it here. Wooooooow

Nigerians should borrow a leaf
Yeah Nigerians are just good making songs, hiyo sector imetushinda.
The movie is a Masterpiece ; this has to be on Netflix for more people to watch. Thanks for uploading 🙏
I never thought we Kenyans can make a such a great movie. Pliz put it on Netflix pliz. The whole world need to see this movie. Keep it up guys.
A story of anxiety fear remouse a story that's true this is what people out here are going through 10 years later and the story is still relevant this is an incredible piece of art

This movie was something else . watched it back in 2011...good old times
This movie is excellent. As a Nairobian who is familiar with the streets and still an internationally published thriller author, it hit me in a personal level. It was insane!
You were here?
Yes I was. You know I'm everywhere, man! You should comment on my channel, though 😊
One of the best Kenyan movies for sure. Very raw acting and a very powerful message behind it all.
Pure talent, I love this all the way from Zimbabwe
This was such a good movie. Even better since I’m trying to learn Swahili
I remember I missed this movie back when in highschool prinsi akisema form 4 study for exam. Thank you guys 😊
