CGiii Comment

In his heartwarming documentary feature debut, Kenyan filmmaker Njoroge Muthoni explores Nairobi’s vibrant ballroom scene and celebrates queer African joy.

In a country where queerness often lives in the shadows, Muthoni’s lens spotlights Nairobi’s radiant LGBTQIA+ youth creating their own ballroom culture. Through intimate portraits of drag performers and conversations with pioneers like artist Jim Chuchu, How to Live celebrates a community crafting spaces of liberation, defiance and pure African joy.
