Jumping into Life is a feature documentary whose main characters are young adults attending the school of arts Kuruka Maisha. The film offers an intimate and intense look at the lives of young people in the slums of Nairobi. It shows all the joy and pleasure they experience discovering their talents as entertainers, but also suggests the complexity and sometimes their disappointment when they are faced with the expectations and dreams they had imagined this new profession would offer them.
