Watu Wote (2017)

There is a bit of this short film about a group of Kenyans who refuse to turn over their fellow Christian passengers to the terrorists that hijack their bus that feels Oscar baity, but it is hard to not be affected by the story knowing that it is based on the actual 2015 Mandera bus attack. For a short film, it builds the tension of the event quite well and not being aware of the outcome of the true story, I was unsure until the climax how things would turn out.
