Primal: Crime and Justice case file #02
In episode 2 of Crime and Justice, Foi Wambui’s character Rehema is a 17-year-old who is accused of killing her father by stabbing him eight times, a chilling opener that may as well have been taken out of a true-crime murder story.
Watch: Crime and Justice Season 2 from 21 February 2022.
It’s a very intense episode, and one Foi carries with the gravity it deserves. It means a lot to her to be able to tell Rehema’s story. “I feel honoured to be able to stand in this gap and express on-screen what so many have felt. Rehema is a representation of so many women, and I hope that anyone who watches this episode will feel seen and heard and that it heals people.”
To prepare for the role, she had to meditate a lot to have a deeper connection with Rehema. “I did a lot of meditation so that I could be more present mentally to really feel the emotions. I also drew a lot of motivation from my personal life.”
In doing so, Foi says it became easier for her to express Rehema’s pain and to cry on cue. It’s this sincerity with which she captures her character’s pain that has been praised by co-star Alfred Munyua (Silas). Singling out the second episode as his favourite in the eight-part series, Alfred says, “Foi is definitely a force that’s going to take over the industry if we do right by her.”
Let’s go behind-the-scenes on this case of Crime and Justice episode 2.
