Viewers will be exposed to a tale of two cities through two families – one in a wealthy neighbourhood and one a poor family trying to make ends meet – and how the two intersect due to a life-changing event.
Starring Mumbi Maina, Foi Wambui, Melvin Alusa, and Brian Kabugi amongst other critically acclaimed casts, Salem is a riveting, thrilling and spectacular story about inequality- rich versus the poor, and about how fine the line between the two can be.
It’s the story of relatable characters – people we know, or people we may be – and the situations they must fight their way out of, be they of their own doing or beyond their control.
Ruth Apondi of the classic Kenyan Drama Tausi also makes a powerful TV comeback on the show.
Salem is a story about two families inhabiting separate but intersecting worlds: the Mufasa family in the high class, an upmarket neighbourhood of Karen and the humble Karani family in the high-density and chaotic Salem.
The former lives a glossy life with cracks hidden beneath it, while the latter is a tight-knit and loving family- until everyone’s lives are turned upside down by a devastating event.
