About
The film is centered on the last male northern white rhino Sudan who died in 2018 rendering the species functionally extinct. It allows viewers to experience the joys and pitfalls of conservation first-hand through the lens of the men that look into the eyes of extinction on a daily basis.

The evening will start off with a reception and drink with the rhino caregivers, a raffle, followed by a silent auction – and will end with the screening. There will also be sale of merchandise throughout the evening.

The primary purpose of this movie première is to raise awareness towards conservation while at the same time, raising critical donations for ranger welfare on Ol Pejeta Conservancy.

About
Co-founded by film director Mbithi Masya and producer Sheba Hirst, The NBO Film Fest wants to revitalise cinema-going culture in Nairobi as a critical means of contributing to the growth of a healthy film industry in Kenya. The festival began to do that in the last three years by presenting exceptional films from around the world that are rarely presented in Nairobi’s mainstream cinema and showing the best made Kenyan films in a lively festival format.

Lusala, a film directed by Mugambi Nthiga, produced by One Fine Day Films and Ginger Ink Films will make its world premiere at the festival. This will be continuing a tradition that started in the 2017 premiere of Kati Kati by Mbithi Masya and was followed by the 2018 premiere Supa Modo by Likarion Wainaina.
