Joan Kabugu: Madam Chief

Joan Kabugu
Joan Kabugu's original debut into writing had nothing to do with film scripts, she first authored a popular children's book "The Boom Boom Bus" for which she is better known. Her foray into serious film-making came when she joined Medeva, a local production house for a TV/Radio production training program. The program gave her the basic skill set for a career in film but it is Maisha Film Lab that gave her the opportunity and means to write and produce her first short film, Madam Chief. (Source Film Kenya: The Big Film Review, 23 September 2011)
 
 
Synopsis
Madam Chief, a film about corruption, misuse of power and exploitation, relates the experiences of Mwambia, a young high school graduate, in search of university scholarships and the obstacles he faces in his dealings with the Chief.
