Now that the kids have gone back to school and September has hit us all with that signature July cold, I’d say this is the right time to binge-watch all new episodes of and enjoy all the fun, sexiness, hook-ups and heartbreaks that New York’s publishing world has to offer. Or maybe you are looking to watch a TV show that is closer to home, like say Brenda Wairimu-led drama series or new series . If that’s the case, really is the place to be.
If you can’t get enough of local shows, check out these Kenyan titles to watch in September.
Ensulo
Made by the MultiChoice Talent Factory in 2018, this film takes us to Ensulo Land, an isolated kingdom that embraces traditional ways of living, and whose peace and resources are threatened when it attracts the attention of a major water bottling company from the city. After the king falls ill, it falls to the young and inexperienced Princess Zuri to protect the kingdom from the outsiders who intend to exploit the kingdom’s sacred water source to cash in on the drought that’s hit the city.
Catch Ensulo on Showmax from Thursday 12 September.
Promises
Another MTF film, Promises tells the story of Mwangi, a boda-boda rider whose life turns upside down when his wife dies during childbirth, leaving him with the newborn twins and a 6-year-old son. Balancing work and fatherhood, Mwangi struggles to raise his three children amid constant criticism from his in-laws. Pushed to the limit after an unfortunate incident, Mwangi falls into a life of crime and loses custody of his children. Can he overcome his challenges to keep the promise he made to his wife?
Catch Promises on Showmax from Thursday 12 September.
Catch on Showmax this September, and let’s all hope that Brenda Wairimu continues to bring more drama to and cause trouble in the Mackenzie household.
