The First Grader is an inspiring film based on the true story of a Kenyan man, Kimani Ng’ang’a Maruge, 84 years of age, a Mau Mau – proud of his tribe and his ancestry.

The nearest ‘institution’ is a very remote small modest building with not enough chairs and desks for all the primary school children who he would be learning with.

The scenes of hundreds of children and their parents and guardians pushing and shoving with birth certificates in hand to register their child, gave us a glimpse of a country where education is viewed as a privilege and not a right, and that a teacher, a good teacher, could be that person who could change your life forever.
