We Are the Nation 2016
A new reality dawned on Kenya after the nightmare of the post-election violence of 2008. Thousands were orphaned and countless Kenyans left with terrible memories.

Billian heeded the call, and decided to help them build a future for themselves - by using music. But he is not aiming to make celebrities. He wants to make leaders. Together they rap about their brutal lives, sharing a dream of an education and a better tomorrow. But as Billian faces defeats and setbacks in his project, he decides to take a harsh decision: To go into politics. Into a political system that is among the most corrupt in the world. What will he gain? And what will the price for the achievements be?
