Everyday life in Kenyas capital Nairobi, DW Documentary
The bridge crosses over a busy freeway in Kenya s capital, Nairobi. If you re looking for vegetables, a bowl of hot soup, a haircut, or even a new bed, you can find it here. But now, the bridge is to be torn down. The bridge provides a vital link between the slum district of Kangemi and more prosperous parts of the city. ARD s Nairobi bureau chief, Sabine Bohland, first reported in 2015 on the thriving commerce that takes place on the bridge. She interviewed three people: Mogaka, who makes and sells soup; Jacky, who sells vegetables; and Saidi, a student. All three talked about their dreams for the future. Five years later, Bohland returned to the bridge to find out how these people are coping with the coronavirus pandemic, and whether they ve made their dreams come true.
