Twelve Years A Slave to hit Nairobi cinemas

Finally!!!! The highly-acclaimed film, 12 Years A Slave shall be officially screened on Kenyan soil on Friday 24 January at Century Cinemax, The Junction Mall.

The film, which tells the harrowing real life story of Solomon Northup, just scooped a Best Drama award at the Golden Globes and features our very own Lupita Nyong’o.

Directed by Steve McQueen, 12 Years A Slave has been hailed as one of the most important moments in film and world history with heartrending performances by Lupita and fellow cast members Chiwetel Ejiofor, Michael Fassbender and Brad Pitt. Crimson Multimedia is the team responsible for having the film brought home. Citing issues with South African distributors that caused them to miss the lucrative December window, MD Jayesh Patel was still looking forward to showing the film to a local audience.

Like all other films, 12 Years a Slave shall have a two-week run at Century Cinemax. However, Jay stated that it could be longer if demand for the film rose beyond that period.
