Help them be seen

Asked what they want, the players in Kakuma do not say signed. They say seen. Your gift helps finish the film and bring it to audiences who can change that.

Pledge your support

Tell us what you’d like to give. Nothing is charged today. We’ll email you when we’re ready to collect pledges.

A pledge is a commitment, not a payment. Pledges are not tax-deductible at this time.

Where your support goes

We cannot promise anyone a contract, and we will not. What a film can do is draw attention and funding toward a place that has neither.

  • Finishing the filmShooting through the league season and the Ateker Cup of Nations in Uganda, then editing, score, and subtitles.
  • Local crew & storytellersPaid work and training for young filmmakers from Kakuma and Turkana, who are part of the authorship.
