Poignant Kenyan short film Act of Love, screened in Nairobi this week, is on a mission to raise awareness about maternal mental health in Africa – with a special focus on postpartum depression. Inspired by a true story, the film has spent the past year touring film festivals across the continent and is now reaching an even broader audience.
Penned by Shelly Gitonga and set in Nairobi, Act of Love tells the heart-wrenching story of Juliana, a young mother struggling to keep her sanity as she faces the challenges of motherhood and the harsh realities of life.
