The day will culminate with a beautiful fall evening under the stars as SABIFF in conjunction with SAAACAM presents: THE WALL STREET BOY, KIPKEMBOI by director, Charles Uwagbai. (Kenya/Canada, 90 mins, drama in English) This heart-warming coming of age drama is perfect for the entire family.

“The Wall Street Boy, Kipkemboi" tells the story of a young math genius from rural Kenya who uses his understanding of patterns in nature to develop a successful stock market algorithm. His remarkable success from a makeshift setup in his village draws attention from international financiers and local authorities, forcing him and his girlfriend Chepchirchir to flee.
|
With his life in jeopardy and jail almost a certainty, one question remains, how could a farm boy bring down the global financial system and how far is the international world order willing to go to silence his story
|
This fictional film explores themes of innovation, resourcefulness, and the clash between tradition and modernity. It serves as a valuable educational resource, prompting discussions on financial literacy, ethics in global finance, and the socio-economic dynamics of contemporary Africa.
