A new documentary charts the rise of Elsa Majimbo, a Kenyan comedian who has become a social-media sensation. Watch here.
“What’s quite amazing in her comedy,” the director Julia Jansch said, of Elsa Majimbo, “is that we find ourselves in all her jokes.”
Jansch was captivated by Majimbo’s raw, natural style. “I’ve always been particularly fascinated in how people present themselves to the world and what they show and what they choose not to show,” she said. The comedian, who is also a former chess champion, was deliberately posting her unfiltered thoughts and image in a digital space where it’s becoming increasingly rare to encounter anything real or anything with which you can genuinely identify.
