Private investigators are thriving in Kenya. With police widely mistrusted, many people are turning to private detectives to solve crimes. None is more famous, or controversial, than Jane Mugo. She claims to have solved hundreds of cases, catching cheating husbands with secret cameras and putting more than 70 criminals in jail for murders and kidnappings.
But do Jane and other private eyes play by the rules?
This is the inside story of the woman known as "Kenya's Spy Queen."

A seven-strong group of homeless street dancers in Nairobi, who call themselves the Street Family Dance Crew are determined to overcome the desperate hardships of street life and make their names as celebrity dancers.

This is a film about hope and ingenuity, resilience and courage, as the boys find ways to survive and keep dancing - hoping, against all the odds, that they will break through and hit the big time.
