#Junction_Nairobi

Adam, a mentor and boxing coach, strug­gles to shield his pro­tégés from the reach of an extrem­ist recruiter. As more of the young men fall to the trap­pings of easy money, Adam turns his focus towards Rama, a young man from the local slum area with hopes of saving at least one soul.
The film has been made for Jion­goze Project, an NGO that aims to build a com­mu­ni­ty of resilient and empow­ered youth with a sense of pur­pose and iden­ti­ty for their lives. www.jiongoze.co.ke
