Tides

Set on the Kenyan coast, Tides is a music romance-drama film that follows Salma and Biko, a musician couple pushed to their limits as dwindling gig opportunities collide with mounting financial pressure brought on by their daughter’s serious medical condition. As survival becomes increasingly uncertain, the choices they make threaten to change their relationship forever.

Written and directed by Reuben Odanga, Tides stars Sarah Hassan (Crime and Justice), Brian Kabugi (MTV Shuga Mashariki), Minne Kariuki (Single Kiasi) in her first film role and South African actor Dumisani Mbebe, known for Netflix’s series Savage Beauty. Zippy Okoth (Nafsi), Andrew Muthure (Untying Kantai) and Muthoni Gathecha (Boda Love) round out the cast.
