In honour of World Day of Social Justice, we are proud to share that NAWI is coming to select theatres across North America.
This powerful and deeply moving film follows Nawi, a brilliant Kenyan student who dreams of continuing her education, but faces systemic barriers and financial hardship that threaten her future. Inspired by real events, NAWI is a poignant reminder that access to education is not universal and that social justice begins with opportunity.
As we reflect on equity, access, and the right of every child to learn, we invite you to experience a story that speaks directly to the work still ahead.
