Directed by Ian Michael ‘Chief’ and produced by Yvette Gisebe, this gripping drama will take you on an emotional journey through the gritty streets of Nairobi, where loyalty, survival, and the quest for redemption intertwine.

The film revolves around Monty, a young man grappling with his past and the lure of his former life. After spending four years in juvenile prison, Monty is offered a controversial deal by Officer Bett—a shot at freedom in exchange for infiltrating his old gang and collecting evidence to take them down. With half a million shillings as bait, Monty accepts, but it’s a decision that forces him to navigate dangerous waters.

In his pursuit, Monty reconnects with Mo, his fiery love interest and the heart of his old crew. Mo is a woman of strength, fiercely protective of her brother Tony. Their chemistry adds depth to the story, especially as Mo’s discovery of Monty’s mission stirs tension and suspicion within the group. Things take a dramatic turn when betrayal emerges from within—Ousman, a gang member, leaks Monty’s plans to Kizito, a ruthless criminal Monty is tasked with exposing-. What happens next you’ll have to buy a ticket and find out.

What sets Zoza apart is its layered storytelling. The stakes are amplified when we learn that Officer Bett has his own murky motives, entangled in a blackmail scheme with Kunta, Kizito’s rival. This dual narrative leaves Monty torn between doing what’s right and protecting himself. What do you think you would do?

With a powerful cast featuring Michael Njihia, Chadota, and Michael Ndaka, and a striking score by Soup and Salad, Zoza promises to keep you on the edge of your seats. It’s more than just a thriller—it’s a reflection on the costs of redemption and the resilience needed to rise above one’s circumstances.

Prepare for an unforgettable cinematic experience as Zoza dives deep into the complexities of crime, love, and the price of freedom. Don’t miss the premiere—it’s set to leave a mark on Kenya’s film industry.
