Sky Girls has debuted a brand-new teen mini-series drama titled Paa-Born to fly.
The series consists of 6 episodes highlighting the tale of three teenage girls living in Nairobi and coping with the everyday challenges of social pressure, sexual harassment, bullying, and self-identity crisis.
Speaking to Mpasho, the film's director Enos Olik said he had an easy time doing the series because of the energy he received from the cast.
“It took about a month to film the 6 episodes, everybody in the crew was dedicated. There was a lot of passion and happiness on set. We depicted our world like the school was locked...we went there and created our own set," Olik shared.
The director explained that the series' name Paa-Born to fly is derived from the Swahili word Paa- which means to fly.
“By flying we mean being inspired, getting successful, doing the things that you love without following what other people think is cool,” he said.
Enos further detailed that they did not experience challenges during the shoots, except one day when the rains forced them to cancel the shoot.
SKY Girls Kenya began its journey in September 2020 with a mandate to connect, educate and inform teenage girls between the ages of 13-18 years within greater Nairobi.
The Paa-Born to fly series will premierre on March 13 on Sky Girls YouTube and Citizen TV.
