Boniface Mwangi Unfiltered Dive into Boniface Mwangi’s podcast interview with Cleaning The Airwaves.
Listen NowSoftie The Film follows Boniface “Softie” Mwangi, a fearless political activist who has long fought injustices in Kenya. Now, he takes his fight to the ballot, running for office in a regional election.

But as his idealistic, clean campaign clashes with deeply entrenched corruption, he quickly realizes that taking on political dynasties comes at a personal cost. With growing threats against his family, he faces an impossible dilemma: should his country come before his loved ones, as he has always believed?
