Tales of the Accidental City is the story of four Nairobi residents who find themselves stuck together in an anger management class after being accused by the courts of various misdemeanors. Diana, Jacinda, Louis Njoroge, and Sarah Obama must explain what got them there, and with the help of their quirky counsellor, find a way to heal their wounds. The play is a portrait of Nairobi, but also tells the story of many African cities challenged by population growth, economic inequality and social injustice.
The film is experimental in style, with all the action taking place in a Zoom therapy session. It was originally written for the stage but adapted for the screen when the Covid pandemic forced theatres to close down.
