The Ololokwe Movie Company is a filmmaking collective dedicated to telling stories that reveal the depth, diversity, and evolving dynamics of life across Africa.

We craft films that explore cultural heritage, conservation, and adventure, offering fresh perspectives on the relationships between people and place to expand localized narratives that drive meaningful change.

By uncovering the most compelling story within each subject, we bring these narratives to life in ways that resonate both locally and globally. Our team have produced films that have received global recognition, such as Searching for Amani, a Tribeca award-winning documentary exploring resilience and connection in times of change.

Current Project

Cowboy Never Die is our current feature length documentary project nearing the final stages of post production. The film intertwines the personal journey of Muambi, a Kenyan/Norwegian Mountaineer with the broader themes of indigeneity, heritage, and the timeless bond between people and the land. At its core, the film explores how cultural and ancestral myths are not relics of the past but living narratives that shape identities and inspire new ways of engaging with the world. The film navigates the tension between outsiderness and acceptance, highlighting the power of cross-cultural exchange in bridging historical divides. Through the lens of climbing and outdoor exploration, Cowboy considers how physical challenges become a means of personal and communal transformation. Shared experiences - such as climbing, storytelling, and ritual - become pathways to connection, revealing the complexities of heritage and raising the question: is identity something we inherit, or something we must continually redefine?
