About
PAWA Film Forum is committed to showcasing independently produced, often non- commercial work that has little opportunity of reaching the general public; highlighting social, political, cultural and historical realities. By featuring the voices and visions of truly independent media artists from Kenya and beyond, we aim to expose diverse audiences to a range of artistic expressions, cultural perspectives and critical inquiries.
So happy that my film is being screened at Pawa. BUT we are NOT an Israeli family – my parents were Jews from Poland and Rumania – and we did NOT settle in Kenya in the early nineteenth century!! Since my father died in 1986 and my mother in 2007, that would have been pretty amazing! They settled in Kenya as Jewish refugees in 1942.
Updated – Sorry about that. Robert
