About
Salim Amin, son and only child of Mohamed “Mo” Amin, undertakes a journey of recollection and reflection into the life of the frequently absent, globe-trotting father he loved, revered and feared. In his late teens, Mohamed Amin abandons his studies to pursue a career in photography which, over the course of thirty years, will turn him into a front-line cameraman extraordinaire – and, arguably, the most renowned photojournalist of his era. Training his candid lens across continents, Mo Amin’s thirst for breaking news puts him repeatedly in harm’s way – enduring weeks of torture, automatic arms fire, explosives and, ultimately, the amputation of his left arm – to become one of the most decorated news camera-man of all time. The documentary depicts Mo as an unbending, unforgiving and unapologetically rambunctious paterfamilias whose hunger for “the story” propels him to ever greater professional heights – often at the expense of those he cherishes. The 96-minute film is underpinned by extraordinary images from the vast Amin archive – currently available at World Picture Network in New York. The stills mark and frame Mo’s life as it unfolds in a vivid and, at times, grisly tableau of international politics. Fuelled by a potent mixture of talent and ambition, Mo’s stubborn courage, innate resilience and wily perseverance loom large as he encounters horror and brutality in the course of his indefatigable quest to inform, alert and chronicle.
The multimedia performance ‘Water!’ shows in an entertaining fashion why it is worth fighting peacefully for this unique natural resource.

Once every year, the TED experience comes to our city at the TEDxNairobi event. This year’s TEDxNairobi will be held on December 6th at the Catholic University of East Africa (CUEA) in Karen. The event will run from 9:30 am to 6:00 pm. This is a registration-only event strictly limited to 500 participants, so please register today.
TED stands for Technology, Entertainment, Design – three areas that are collectively shaping the cutting edge of our horizons. The fascinating and passionate TEDTalks have reached over a billion views through ted.com, enlightening audiences worldwide with their powerful ideas. TEDxNairobi operates under a license from TED and is a self-organized event that creates a platform for international and local speakers to bring the TED experience to Nairobi.
In this our fifth year, we have decided to provoke more complex conversations with some brilliant minds by using the theme of “A WasTED World?!” Because the challenge of reducing waste is now intrinsically linked to the challenge of increasing prosperity in developing countries. We are looking for new ways to transform the cycles that define our lives, in order to upgrade or redesign systems that support our rapidly changing world.
