Background and development

NAWI is a collaboration between the production companies FilmCrew Media GmbH and Baobab Pictures and the Turkana-based NGO Learning Lions, which focuses on educational opportunities and social empowerment for young people in Turkana, Kenya. The story for the script was found through a national writing contest in Kenya, where Milcah Cherotich, a first-time writer, shared a compelling story about a young girl facing forced marriage.

NAWI was filmed in the remote landscapes of Turkana, with a team that included international and Kenyan crew members. It was directed by four directors,Toby and Kevin Schmutzler, Apuu Mourine and Vallentine Chelluget. The production itself became a learning experience for many in the region, reflecting the film's mission of empowerment through education and cross-cultural collaboration.
