A powerful new Kenyan drama, Sindella, created in Eldoret by iconic filmmaker Cosmas Bii, will officially premiere on March 14 at Rupa’s Mall Cinema. The film represents a major moment for Eldoret’s growing creative industry, showcasing local storytelling and talent on the big screen.
The film is directed by Octavius Onyango, an accomplished actor and director, whose experience in film and theatre brings depth and emotional intensity to the project.
Together, Cosmas Bii and Octavius Onyango deliver a story that blends drama, ambition, love, and deception into a compelling narrative.
At the heart of Sindella is Daisy, a 23-year-old university student who appears to have built the perfect life. She is charming, confident, and admired by those around her. But behind the polished image lies a carefully constructed world built on deception.
Everything begins to unravel on the day meant to celebrate her biggest achievement — her graduation.
When Daisy’s family arrives expecting to celebrate her success, a series of events begin to expose the truth. A borrowed graduation gown, a volatile boyfriend, and years of hidden lies collide in a public and humiliating moment that destroys the image she worked so hard to maintain.
Suddenly, Daisy is forced to confront the consequences of her choices.
Sindella explores themes that resonate deeply with many young people today. The film highlights the intense pressure to appear successful, the temptation to maintain illusions, and the emotional cost of living a double life.
Through Daisy’s journey, the story asks difficult questions:
- How far will someone go to protect a dream?
- What happens when ambition becomes deception?
- Can someone rebuild their life once the truth is exposed?
Rather than offering simple answers, Sindella presents a raw and emotional story about identity, accountability, and redemption.
Created in Eldoret, Sindella stands as another example of the city’s growing influence in Kenya’s creative and film industry. Cosmas Bii, widely respected as one of Eldoret’s most influential filmmakers, continues to elevate local storytelling by producing films that reflect real experiences and complex human emotions.
With Octavius Onyango’s direction and a talented cast including Lynnet Chepkirui, Brian Tonui, Cosmas Bii, and Agushoma Stephen, the film promises a gripping cinematic experience.
When Sindella premieres on March 14 at Rupa’s Mall Cinema, audiences will witness a story that proves powerful films can be created right here in Eldoret.
