The gravity of high teenage pregnancy is not new in Kenya. Data from the Demographic and Health Surveys show that almost 2 out of 10 girls between the ages of 15 and 19 are reported to be pregnant or have had a child already. In this documentary we follow the lives of young mothers, pregnant girls and young fathers to hear and see their perspective in the unfamiliar world that they find themselves in.
Director's cut
A participatory approach was adopted in the development of the film. We interviewed and followed the real life of the young mothers, mothers to be and young fathers to get the back story of what they were going through and how they face each day as their childhood slips away. It is from their real life experiences that this short documentary is made from.
