LBx Africa is leading the impact and distribution strategy for Searching for Amani, a deeply moving, character-driven documentary directed by Nicole Gormley and Debra Aroko.
Set in Laikipia, Kenya, the film follows 13-year-old aspiring journalist Simon Ali as he investigates the circumstances surrounding his father’s murder. As Simon’s search unfolds, it opens up urgent questions around conservation, justice, and community equity in the face of environmental crisis.
Produced by Backroads Pictures and Nicole Gormley Films, Searching for Amani is a powerful invitation to reflect, listen, and act. We're honoured to support this story’s continued journey and help it reach the audiences and communities it was made for.
Following a limited one-week run last year, Searching for Amani returns to Unseen by popular demand from August 1st - 31st 2025, offering audiences another opportunity to engage with this thought-provoking story.
