Untying Kantai S1
Untying Kantai is a 13-part dramedy that follows King Kantai (Benson Ojuwa from County 49), a man who has spent 30 years of his life working hard to provide for his family, only to be conned out of his life savings. In the midst of his mid-life crisis, fate throws him a curveball in the form of a truckload of antipsychotic drugs worth millions. Kantai is faced with a life-changing decision: turn the drugs over to the authorities and live with his past mistakes, or take a chance and sell them to secure his family's future.
The series also stars singer and Kora Awards winner Silayio (Nafsi), Sanchez Ombasa (Faithless), Mercy Mutisya (Kina), Francis Ouma (Volume), Dennis Mugo (Tahidi High), Pascal Tokodi (Selina), Blessing Lung’aho (Country Queen), Keith Chuaga (Igiza) and Mary Mwikali (Second Family).
Untying Kantai is written by Abel Mutua and directed by Philip Karanja, the Philit Productions duo behind the Kalasha-winning comedy Sue na Jonnie and AMVCA-winning films A Grand Little Lie and Click Click Bang.
