How ghetto cinema keeps the poorest updated
- Posted on Wednesday 4 March 2009 - 09:57Neville Omondi, VoicesofAfrica mobile reporter in Nairobi, KenyaMany slum dwellers can't afford to buy a TV set. For that Peter Mwashi decided to open up this video watching place. This helps the local community catch up with the local and international news at a price of $ 10 cents per news hour.Loading video...At other times it serves as an entertainment place, where the people watch movies and football matches mostly the English premier league. In the night, films are projected, though illegally, and police repeatedly harasses the owner.
This place can be turned into an avenue where positive and educative information can be channelled to the slum residents.
