Director, Scriptwriter

A spiritual lens into Ramadan as lived by Kenyan Muslims across Mombasa, Kisumu, and Nairobi.

Ramadan in Kenya is a documentary that offers a rare, intimate view into how Muslims in Kenya observe the holy month of Ramadan. Shot across the coastal city of Mombasa, the lakeside town of Kisumu, and the bustling capital Nairobi, the film highlights the cultural diversity of Kenya’s Muslim communities—from Swahili traditions to Somali heritage.

The film captures daily rituals, spiritual reflections, family gatherings, and communal meals, showing how faith shapes rhythm and identity during Ramadan. Told through prayers, food, music, and personal interviews, it presents Ramadan not as a monolith, but as a shared yet diverse spiritual journey.
