Produced by Akin Pepin  and Directed by Mburu Wanyoike aka Marley Blanda as a story features true events; it follows the rise and fall of mbogi Jombe an organized crime group run by Slim, their escapades and dealings with the police that lead to their extinction. Showing them that the drill never changes, crime will always lead to early grave and success stories always have long stories behind them and short cuts are not a way to go.

Blanda is a realistic look set-in modern-day Nairobi slums trying to reform and reshape the thinking of the upcoming teenage generation not to succumb to peer pressure of joining crime to lead a cool life now commonly termed as kuomoka.

 

Blanda is a sheng word that means mistake and the story features and highlights some of the major mistakes the youth and the police make trying to seek solutions to a successful life. The mistakes parents make in their upbringing and parenting, responsibilities they should focus on to raise a better generation.
