he People Shall is a feature documentary that captures Kenya’s 2024 Finance Bill protests, a grassroots movement that grew from civic education into nationwide resistance and culminated in an unprecedented breach of Parliament. Weaving together interviews, real‑time protest footage, and reflections from activists, journalists, and everyday Kenyans, the film documents how people navigated fear, solidarity, and civic action. At its core, the documentary foregrounds voices that are too often unseen: women who organized, documented, and sustained the movement on and off the streets. Through their stories and perspectives, The People Shall reframes the narrative of protest as both collective struggle and community care. By preserving these moments on film, the project ensures that this chapter of Kenyan history lives beyond headlines — offering a nuanced look at how citizens across generations resisted economic policy and reclaimed space for accountability and shared humanity.
