I Want to Be a Pilot

Omondi resides in the largest slum in East Africa, where he is inspired by the sight of airplanes passing overhead daily. His aspirations entail becoming an airline pilot and traveling to distant destinations.

We meet Omondi; he's 12, orphaned by AIDS, living in East Africa's largest slum, Nairobi's Kibera. We watch him emerge from his burrow in a garbage dump; then we follow him as he walks through Kibera. He tells us that he wants to be a pilot. Gradually, we learn why. Written by
