Winyo and Fancy Fingers Score New Documentary Widow Champion, Premiering at Tribeca

Award-winning Kenyan musician and Abubilla artist Winyo has added ‘film composer’ to his impressive résumé, teaming up once again with Fancy Fingers to compose the original soundtrack for upcoming documentary Widow Champion.

The film, directed by Kenyan filmmaker Njoki Muhoho, tells the gripping and inspiring story of Alice Wahome, a 64-year-old widow who defies cultural tradition and corruption to lead a motorcycle taxi business in rural Kenya. It’s a story of resilience, justice, and the power of women-led community change.

Widow Champion is set to premiere at Canada’s Hot Docs Festival this April, followed by screenings at Dokfest in Germany and the prestigious Tribeca Festival in New York City this June.

"Widow Champion" is a documentary film by Zippy Kimundu that explores the challenges faced by widows in Kenya. It follows Rodah Nafula Wekesa, a Kenyan widow who becomes a powerful advocate for women's land rights after being evicted from her home by her in-laws.
