Résumé
Cet article porte sur la contribution du cinéma kenyan à la vie quotidienne et aux débats de politique publique. En utilisant Soul Boy de Hawa Essuman, il examine l’implication critique du film dans la texture gérontocratique du paysage politique kenyan. En lisant le film à travers une lentille allégorique, il montre comment le film contribue de manière stratégique aux initiatives qui défendent un processus politique plus inclusive et comment le film avance la cause d’imagine des processus de changement de leadership en puisant de manière créative dans les riches référentiels culturels africains. L’article plaide pour une recomposition des rôles et des responsabilités dans le leadership associant les jeunes.
