Mwas is a young aspiring actor from upcountry Kenya who dreams of becoming an accomplished actor one day, and in pursuit of this he makes his way to Nairobi the city of opportunity. He quickly understands why Nairobi is nicknamed Nairrobery as he is robbed of all his money and belongings and left alone in a city where he doesn\u2019t know a soul. Luck, or the lack of it, brings him face to face with the city\u2019s criminals and forms a friendship with a small time crook who takes him in.&nbsp;nHe is quickly drawn into a world of crime as he struggles to pursue his dream of becoming an actor. Keeping the two worlds separate proves to be a challenge for him as he trudges on in this unknown world called Nairobi. This is the story of a young man who despite all odds trudges on in search of his dream&#8230;..<br \/>In Durban, main actor Joseph Wairimu bagged the Best Actor award after the judges had this to say about his performance:n<i>\u201cFrom the very opening moments of Nairobi Half Life, actor Joseph Wairimu charms us with his endearing characterisation of Mwas. His role as a young actor who tries to resist becoming a reluctant hustler, transcends both comedy and drama. His performance embodies the hunger of Kenyan youth hoping to carve out better lives for themselves.\u201d<\/i>n<span style=\"color:; \"><b><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"495\" height=\"278\" src=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/nRjBLAnx2jU\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/b><\/span>n<b>Nairobi Half Life entered for the 85th Ascademy Awards<br \/><\/b>After the world premier at the Durban International Film Festival,&nbsp;<b>Nairobi Half Life premiered at the cinemas in Nairobi, Kenya on 30th August 2012<\/b>&nbsp;and has been screening twice daily to a full houses since it subsequently opened to the public on Friday 31st August 2012.
