It’s been an eventful year with both happy and sad moments.
As Pwani we have made strides,we have experienced different emotions and have celebrated our lives with the numerous events held this year.
Unfortunately,we have also lost some of the most amazing people in our lives,family, friends,relatives and loved ones.
The Pwani film fraternity have decided not to let the year end without celebrating the lives of actors that made a huge contribution to the film industry by holding a ‘Celebrating Actor’s Legacy’ event scheduled for tomorrow Wednesday 23rd December 2015 from 6 p.m.
Guests are asked to come dressed in white or purple with candles to mark this important event.
The late Ahmed Dharuwesh
The fallen actors including veterans like Mzee Ojwang helped shape the film industry and always cracked us up with his performance alongside his ‘wife’ Mama Kayai. The most recent loss being the demise of the late Ahmed Dharuwesh of KTN.
It was also very sad when the Coast Film fraternity woke up to the shocking news this year of the sudden departure of the late Pascal who was a jovial, hilarious actor with a big heart. It was hard for friends and family to come to terms with his loss and many came out in large numbers to show solidarity at the funeral service held at Pandya Hospital and later at his home where he was laid to rest.
The late Pascal
Our hearts are filled with sorrow thinking of their departure but we chose to celebrate their lives instead and appreciate the love they spread, the art of performing and their many ways of touching our hearts.
Those attending are currently sharing this message #celebrateactorslegacy.
