Ann M @RT83933554 04/10/2024 A powerful story, clearly told with excellent acting. Made me see things I thought I knew about the Mau Mau uprising in a totally different light and with a sense of shame for my heritage. Highly recommended watching. See more james b @RT54975811 04/17/2021 This was a pretty good movie. Kind of seemed like the ending was maybe not as solid as the beginning of the movie. Seemed kind of rushed to me. It was a good movie though, and was a good watch. See more adam b 10/28/2019 A touching fact-based story that truly is inspirational and well acted See more 04/16/2016 Kinda Surprising, It Was Mostly Predictable But An Effective Bit Of Melodrama. The Violent Flashbacks Were A Bit Hard To Take At Times... I Think It Just Lacked A Good Soundtrack That Coulda Had A Few Good Mood-Pieces Worked Into Some Key Scenes. See more 10/01/2015 interesting but I was kind of hoping this was a documentary. See more 07/30/2015 Uneven and confusing - The First Grader doesn't quite get the right mix between telling Marube's struggle to get a primary education and highlighting the horrors faced by the Mau Mau fighters against the British. There is an uplifting and inspiring story that the film fails to extract. See more Read all reviews
